 * Hey all, wondering if you smart folks can help me out
 * I have a wordpress theme that I’m using right now.
 * And it works on all computers except for my cellphone, I have an Iphone.
 * Also, I believe it doesn’t work with anyone’s cell for that matter.
 * [http://i62.tinypic.com/33pfqkh.jpg](http://i62.tinypic.com/33pfqkh.jpg)
 * That’s the error message I get. What do I need to edit or change?
 * `Fatal error: Allowed Memory size 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   85 bytes) in /home/yats/youarethescene.net/wp-includes/post.php on line 671`
 * No idea what that means.
 * The theme I’m using is called ‘grid theme responsive’
    [http://dessign.net/grid-theme-responsive/](http://dessign.net/grid-theme-responsive/)
 * Now, it is edited and such. But, I also have another theme installed called ‘
   eGallery’ that is from
    [http://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/egallery/](http://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/egallery/)
 * There both paid themes. I’ve edited eGallery as well, but that works just fine
   on the cell.
 * Please help
 * Thanks
 * Dave

 * If you’re seeing this error either suddenly (no specific task was done to cause
   the error) or frequently, try deactivating all plugins to rule-out a plugin-specific
   issue and try switching themes to rule-out a theme-specific issue.
 * Otherwise, here are three ways to increase PHP’s memory allocation:
 * 1. If you can edit or override the system `php.ini` file, increase the memory
   limit. For example, `memory_limit = 256M`
 * 2. If you cannot edit or override the system `php.ini` file, add `php_value memory_limit
   256M` to your `.htaccess` file.
 * 3. If neither of these work, it’s time to ask your hosting provider to temporarily
   increase PHP’s memory allocation on your account. Keep in mind that most decent
   hosting providers allocate 32 MB to PHP under each account, and most decent hosting
   providers allow users to temporarily increase the memory allocation. If your 
   hosting provider won’t accommodate you, perhaps it’s time to find a new hosting
   provider.
 * (in the above examples, the limit is set to 256MB)
