 * Hi,
 * I have a high amount of posts with external images (12k) and all have 2/3 images.
   A total of 30k images. I did a perfect import with 1,2k Posts but now that I 
   have imported all Posts to my WP the screen is white in the Plugin page and the
   following message is displayed when debugging:
 * “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   262144 bytes) in /var/www/html/wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 2301”
 * I cant find another way to import those external images and set them as Featured.
   Help please!
 * Thank you very much in advance for your time!
 * Paco.

 * I could be wrong but this does not sound like it is related to this plugin. What
   makes you think it is this plugin causing the error?

 * So do you suggest this is a memory related problem? I really need to import this
   external images and the similar plugins have given me errors also. I am out of
   ideas.
 * Thanks.

 * Well, yeah the error message says it is a memory problem. The question is what
   is making you run out of memory. What screen are you on and what are you doing
   when you see that?
