1. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');
2. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
If your line shows 32M try 64M:
memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (64MB)
3. If you don't have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
php_value memory_limit 64M
4. Talk to your host.
Thank you samboll for the suggestions.
I have tried placing define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M'); into wp-config.php – However this did not make any difference.
Then I tried placing php_value memory_limit 64M into .htaccess but that actually made the whole site to go down. It could not be loaded and came up with “Internal Server Error”. As soon as I removed the line from .htaccess it all went back to normal.
I have also contacted my host, but I doubt if they will do anything about it. The error is re-produce-able.
Hope that someone can provide another suggestion here.
Thank you everyone for your input
This has been resolved once php.ini was changed and with the appropriate changes to .htaccess as well
Solution to “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864/33554432 bytes exhausted”
Here is Solutions:
*** Here we consider 64M as good configuration. Depending on your need, server codition, how is your site, you could use 32M, 96M, 128M, 256M, 512M, 1024M, 2048M, 4096M. Make sure your server allow you to use that much dedicated memory.
find the php.ini in the /public_html folder and edit the size of the limit and stipulated uper limit there.
(worked for me)
I am having this error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 8391171 bytes) in /home/content/18/7016018/html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 785
It sounds svery similar. I tried everything you said but it’s not working.
1. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);
****This made no difference
2. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
If your line shows 32M try 64M:
memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (64MB)
****This made no difference
3. If you don’t have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
php_value memory_limit 64M
****This crashed the entire site
THIS IS THE .HTACCESS CODE
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
php_value memory_limit 64M
AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG??
4. Talk to your host.

I got this error too. Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted….
Fortunately, it was just after I had installed the plugin ‘Event-Registration’.
So, I used my CPanel access and deleted the entire plugin from my Plugin Folder (public_html/wp-content/plugins/
And my site came back up.
So, you could check your plugins.
Well, after I went back in, I decided to deactivate some plugins (about 17). I re-installed ‘Event-Registration’ just to check. Everything worked just fine.
So, it’s a memory issue. Either increase it as suggested above, or delete some stuff.
It’s been years since I had this problem but the wp-config trick wasn’t working anymore. So, I did the plug-in tests and sure enough, it was my caching program. I had to disable it and now everything works normally.
