 * Hello,
 * I’m installing wordpress for a scientific revue and articles are very (but very,
   believe me) long ! So it happens what it must happen :
 * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   1387914 bytes) in /home/eq32002/html/interface/wp-content/plugins/footnotes.php
   on line 57
 * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   2436 bytes) in /home/eq32002/html/interface/wp-includes/functions.php on line
   164
 * (I use too the fantastic footnote plugin / I can’t do another way).
 * I have seen in the DB (I use WP 1.5.2) that post_content have a LONGTEXT specification.
   It seems I need more !
 * How can I make ? Someone good in Mysql can help me ? I have read the Mysql specifiactions
   but I can’t find something usefull.
 * What is upper size than LONGTEXT ? (Please, don’t say nothing…)
 * ThankX

 * It’s an incredible plugin : [http://www.elvery.net/drzax/index.php/2005/07/29/new-wordpress-plugin-footnotes/](http://www.elvery.net/drzax/index.php/2005/07/29/new-wordpress-plugin-footnotes/)

 * This is not a DB storage problem but a PHP configuration problem.
 * You can try adding:
    `php_value memory_limit "16M"` to your .htaccess file and
   see if that does anything for you. If it doesn’t, then you will have to contact
   your webhost and have them rain the “memory_limit” in the php.ini file for you.
