 * Hi
 * When going to the admin panel I get the following message:
 * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   122880 bytes) in /home/eknjejyl/public_html/wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php on
   line 308
 * This is as soon as I click the link to the admin panel, and I get nothing else.
   How do I get past this back into my WP admin panel, and then how do I rectify
   it? I tried to install a plugin so I’m guessing this caused it, but I can’t get
   back to my admin panel to delete it.
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * Check with these options:
 * 1) Either rename/remove Plugins folder via FTP or disables all the Plugins from
   database
 * 2. If you have an access of PHP.ini file of the account/server then change the
   line in PHP.ini where line shows 32M to 64M:
    memory_limit = 64M; Maximum amount
   of memory a script may consume (64MB)
 * 3. If you do not have access of PHP.ini file then add this to an .htaccess file
   of your domain:
    php_value memory_limit 64M 4. Try to add this line to your wp-
   config.php file to increase allocated memory to PHP: define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’,‘
   64M’);
 * If all this option can not resolve the issue then you need to contact your hosting
   service provider to resolve this issue.
 * Thanks,
 * Shane G.

       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.
       ```
