 * Great, finally a question I can answer 😀
 * I’m pretty new too, but I figured out how to fix this after many hours hahaha
 * Here’s a pretty [informative guide](http://www.dailyblogging.org/wordpress/increase-wordpress-memory-limit/)
 * In short, you’ve got 5 options.
 * FTP your site and
 * 1. Create php.ini and add `memory_limit = 64M` on the first line
    2. Stick in`
   define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');` in wp-config.php 3. Add `php_value memory_limit
   64M` to .htaccess 4. Place `ini_set('memory_limit','64M');` in install.php 5.
   Contact your hosting provider.
 * In my case, I was on a shared hosting server, and I needed to get my host to 
   migrate it to a new one and then I added `define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');` 
   in wp-config.php
 * If you just need to access your dashboard, ftp your site and remove any unnecessary
   plugins (just move them temporarily) and you should get in.
 * Good Luck 😉
