 * We’ve received this error from WordPress relating to the CleanTalk plugin. We
   always kept everything up to date and not sure why we are now seeing this issue.
 * The email we received says:
    ### Since WordPress 5.2 there is a built-in feature
   that detects when a plugin or theme causes a fatal error on your site, and notifies
   you with this automated email.
 * In this case, WordPress caught an error with one of your plugins, Security by
   CleanTalk.
    ###
 * We have also experienced intermittent login issues when the critical issue presents
   itself. Is this a PHP issue, possible server disk space issue, or something wrong
   with our integration suddenly?
 * Thanks in advance.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcritical-error-322%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * We are using PHP v 7.3. The consistent error log shows this recurring error:
 * [02-Apr-2022 01:31:54 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 
   bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2455584 bytes) in /home/kopf/public_html/new2021/

 * What is your PHP memory size? Did you try to increase it? You can ask your hosting
   support about this.

 * I’ve just heard word back from the hosting compange with:
    “Request was for 134MB
   and PHP is set to 128 in the server for the memory limit. I have gone ahead and
   increased this to 192MB for you. Does that fix your error?”
 * We’ll keep an eye on the error log, but should this now fix this issue?

 * We are going to improve memory utilization during the scan process in the next
   stable release 2.84, the estimated date is Apr 11.
 * Please, wait.
