Hey CrackingAce,
You can change the maximum memory allocated your site by adjusting your wp-config.php, or php.ini file on the server. Here’s some instructions on how to do that:

Thanks for the response.
I’ve tried that and it didn’t seem to help. I’ve also removed a number of plugins that could have been draining memory. For a while the problem stopped but it has come back again.
Actually you have 256M assigned, which should be plenty unless you run a heavy shop or something like it.
You have a serious memory thief somewhere.
Personally I would start by deactivating all plugins, then install one of the health plugins: https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/memory
Check memory usage which now should be really low, like <50M
If it is still in the hundreds there is something in your theme that is truly bad.
A rather typical thing that could be the culprit is something that has a runaway condition. Like a do-while loop that under certain conditions could run infinitely, or a callback that gets called repeatedly while the result is stashed rather than reset after use.
I don’t know if you’re a dev yourself so you can do analysis, if you’re not you’ll probably end up having to hire one or switching the offending plugin/theme.
You can try P3 Profiler plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/p3-profiler/ to check which plugin is taking much memory.
