 * Guys,
    I have been trying to update to 3.2.1 but keep getting this error: Fatal
   error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3981531
   bytes) in /home/jnetsnet/public_html/wp-includes/class-http.php on line 1426 
   I have located the file but cannot find where this refers to in the text. Any
   ideas? jNet

 * Using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients), try increasing the memory
   for PHP and WordPress by editing the memory_limit line in your php.ini (if you
   have access to it) to 64M:
 * `memory_limit = 64M;`
 * If you can’t get to the php.ini file, add this line at the top of your .htaccess
   file:
 * `php_value memory_limit 64M`
 * If that doesn’t work or throws an error, add this line near the top of your wp-
   config.php file right after the opening `<?php`
 * `define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');`

 * I’m getting the same error. Updated my memory to 128MB and still I get,
 * “Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 28311552) (tried to allocate 3981531 bytes)”

 * [@adamshaftoe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamshaftoe/): start a new
   thread, but probably your host doesn’t allow memory allocation overrides. You’re
   stuck with what they give.
