 * When I will automatic update, for example an plugin, an fatal error appears. 
   See an example below. I don’t know how to solve this.
    Can anyone help me?
 * _Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   77824 bytes) in /…./www.jokeenwim.nl/website/wp-includes/class-simplepie.php 
   on line 1926_

 * add this line to top of your `wp-config.php` right after opening php statement
 * `define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');`
