 * Hello,
 * I’m trying to log into my WordPress, but after I put my username and password,
   this message comes up on the next page on a white screen:
 * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   96 bytes) in /home/stephani/public_html/blog/wp-includes/option.php on line 492
 * I can’t access anything because of this – what do I need to change in order to
   log into my admin?
 * Please help!

 * Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
    `define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '
   128M');`
 * However, that may not work. It’s just the easiest and fastest possible solution.
 * You may need to contact your host; and ask them to “up” the memory limit in the
   php.ini file.
