 * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   77824 bytes) in /wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 901
 * how can I solve it?
    Thanks

 * Contact your host to see if they allow the memory limit to be increased and, 
   if you can use your own php.ini file and get their advice on how to do that, 
   if they will let you, that is.
