 * Can anyone tell me how I can fix this? My site is still running but I can’t access
   anything in wordpress:
 * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   1024 bytes) in /home/powder1969/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 229

 * Thanks for your response but I can’t access anything to make those changes. When
   I go to access my dashboard, or anything else for that matter, I get a blank 
   white screen.

 * The changes in that guide is something that you have to do from either your cpanel’s
   file manager or from the FTP. You can’t access the wp-config.php file from the
   dashboard.

 * the edits bdbrown is suggesting go in wp-config.php, which you need to edit either
   through your hosting control panel or by downloading, editing,and uploading —
   not through WordPress.
 * What’s your site’s address?
