 * Try increasing the memory for PHP and WordPress by putting this line in your .
   htaccess file:
 * `php_value memory_limit 64M`
 * or this line near the top of your wp-config.php file:
 * `define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');`
 * or in your php.ini, if you have access:
 * `memory_limit = 64M;`
 * And deactivate all plugins for a second and then reactivate them all..

 * I increased the memory limit to 128M and it worked. This solution I got from 
   a google search I did. I’ll look for the link, but this worked for me.
