 * Hi!
 * I’m using WP for the first time. After installing a few plug-ins I got this error:
   Fatal error: Allowed memory size (…)
 * I’ve read that I have to increase the memory in the php.ini file, but I can’t
   find it anywhere! I’m using mijndomein.nl as a host and FileZilla for the ftp.
   Don’t know if this makes any difference…
 * Can somebody please help me??
 * Thanx
    Desiree

 * the php.ini file is in /etc and you’ll need your web hosts help to edit it. I
   don’t know of many hosts that let users set this. Ask your host if they can increase
   it for you and if not, you’ll just have to disable the offending plugins.

 * Thanx fot your reply. I’ll contact my host.
    Disabling the plug-ins is not possible
   as I can’t enter the plu-in section of the site anymore…:(

 * Found the plug-ins in FileZilla. Deleted a few and everything is working again
