 * Oh damn, can you tell me more about that error? Which version had you used before
   you’ve updated to the current version 2.0.3?
 * Which version of WordPress are you using?

 * Sorry, yes 2.0.3.
 * I don’t remember the version number before that. I’m guessing it was 4 or 5 months
   ago I first installed it. I’m using WP 3.9.2

 * When I tried it now I got this error:
 * “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 262144000 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   71 bytes) in …./wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 2279”
 * Does this plugin load taxonomies or member/author lists?

 * Hi Austin,
 * I assume that my plugin doesn’t load taxonomies or member/author lists. But I’ve
   already seen this error in other places. It can be solved with an update of your.
   htaccess file or so. Google for it.
 * Regards,
 * Kevin

 * This is not a lack of memory issue. This is a problem with your plugin. I have
   received several other error messages when trying to activate it. The errors 
   change as a result of the bottleneck your plugin causes and whatever is being
   loaded after it.
 * My guess is this is an error in the way you are caching oembed objects.
 * BTW It has been tested with several themes include WP default and of course all
   other plugins disabled.

 * I just tried again and got this error:
 *  Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 262144000 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   78 bytes) in …/wp-includes/cache.php on line 569
 * I also tried your updated class-meta.php you posted in another thread with no
   luck.

 * Still broken. I don’t think this was designed for scale. We have 5000+ posts.

 * Hey Austin,
 * thanks for coming back to this thread!
 * Just to make sure: You’ve already raised the memory limit a lot and the plugin
   still breaks when you activate it?
 * Okay, then replace class-register.php with this file:
    [https://ssl-account.com/cloud.kevinw.de/public.php?service=files&t=6db72dab8fc67c90a1c0c340a690b84e](https://ssl-account.com/cloud.kevinw.de/public.php?service=files&t=6db72dab8fc67c90a1c0c340a690b84e)
 * This should prevent the plugin from clearing the cache on activation.
    Can you
   activate it? If this works for you, I get certainty and will search for another
   way to clear caches.
 * Best regards,
    Kevin

 * Hey Austin,
 * I found a way to reduce memory usage a lot and published an update right now (
   v2.0.6). Please tell me if this update solves your issue.
 * If not, please try to rise your allowed memory size (again) and also try the 
   previously mentioned file.
 * Best regards,
 * Kevin
