This is telling you that the total memory available to your website has been exhausted. WordPress just got clobbered when it initialized and tried to grab more memory than was available. Are you running other processes on this server? Can you shut any of them off temporarily and see if you can log in?
It IS possible that one of your plugins has a memory leak, in other words it keeps allocating memory then not releasing it. PHP is supposed to do its own cleanup, but there are reasons to get around this. If you have FTP access or access through CPanel, try renaming the plugins directory in wp-content, which in effect turns off all of your plugins, and see if you can log in.
Hi guys,
I had the same fatal memory error you do, i found a possible solution.
As others have noted, removing plugins helps but doesn’t fix the problem. That’s because the problem is something else.
In my case (and someone else I saw online) the problem was caused by an entry in the theme settings. One of the text entries was getting a whole bunch of //////’s added to the text entry every time the page was saved. When I got the memory error, the entry had gone from “This is where my studio is” to “This is//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// where my studio is” but with about a thousand slashes!
I suggest that anyone having the memory problem look through their text entries in theme settings for a similar problem. Not sure what causes it but sure glad to know how to fix it.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_supercache_dir() in /home1/rlpoole1/public_html/robertpoole.org/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache.php on line 395
Can someone help me with this error that occurs when I try to update my plug-ins
@ripoole1,
Please begin your own thread.. it is considered impolite to interrupt someone else’s thread. It also distracts from helping the original poster.
Please start your own, and reference any threads you feel may be related via links.
Thank you.
