   Blog” i Dashboard:
    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 25165824 bytes exhausted(
   tried to allocate 1966080 bytes) in /usr/home/web/********/wp-includes/class-
   simplepie.php on line 5409
 * Is there anyone who have a clue what is wrong here???

 * Yes, possibly. This Simple Pie thing must require a bunch of memory. I’ve noticed
   a lot of people have trouble with this plugin.
 * Assuming you’re running on PHP, memory_limit is the setting that likely relates
   to this. It looks like you have a 2M limit, which is a little stingy. I would
   check with your host tech support about raising that. They may simply raise it
   for you, or they may suggest doing it on the server in either the php.ini or .
   htaccess files, and they would provide instructions.
 * Good luck!

 * add this line to your `wp-config.php` and test
 * `define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');`

 * I can’t believe you need 64M to deliver one page. There must be a different problem:
   The site I have this problem with runs PHP version 5 and has a mem limit of 32M.
   On my other site running PHP version 4 the mem limit is 16M and it works.
    I 
   tried the “define…” anyways but it didn’t work.
