    I have a blog and got a theme and adjusting the styles for my liking – customerised it. Also I installed many plugins that do needed thing for me.
    But I noticed an error. I 1st noticed fatal errors in the plugin box on the dashboard. The plugin editor didn’t work. Through trial & error I de-actived plugins until the message disappeared. Mostly I have to delete the files from the server.
    Just when I though the problem was fixed, I decided to upgrade to 3.0.1, the automatic upgrade failed:
    “
    Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.0.1.zip…

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2966269 bytes) in /home/ethicalr/public_html/wp-includes/class-http.php on line 1408
    “
    I tried using another theme – no diff.
    It seems erratic!
    Not sure if the problem is with WP, the theme, my plugins or elsewhere. What can do to find the source?

    1. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');

2. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
If your line shows 32M try 128M:
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 128M
