 * I installed the Salient theme but everytime I do i get this error message:
    Fatal
   error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 491520
   bytes) in /home/eproadmin/public_html/wp-admin/menu.php on line 267
 * I checked the menu.php file for the theme and it’s fine. The theme installs, 
   and if you look at it from as an outside user it shows up, but it gives me that
   error whenever I go to edit the theme. What do I do?

 * You can try increasing memory available to PHP – [http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP)
 * However, some hosts won’t allow you to do so, so you may need to ask them for
   help.
