 * When error reporting is on and I try to see the wp-rss news on admin dashboard:
   
   Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 25165824 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   311296 bytes) in /customers/mysite.com/mysite.com/httpd.www/wp-includes/class-
   simplepie.php on line 4134
 * No, I can’t increase the memory. Is it any way to tell simplepie to act different?

 * did you try increasing memory by adding this line to `wp-config.php`?
    `define('
   WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');`

 * Hi Samboll!
 * Will I actually increase it if the host have a maximum limit on 26MB for each
   user?
