How to go around Memory Issues – you only need 2mb more

In case you are receiving out of memory error, or just flat out a 500 error page or other abrupt error when upgrading, you may be running out of memory in your WP install.

The new plugin adds only ~2 mb memory requirement in admin and in frontend, but if you are dangerously close to memory limit you set for PHP and WordPress, you may run out of memory if you install any plugin.

Solution is increasing the memory available for PHP and WordPress. If you don’t know how to increase memory for PHP, contact your host and they will do it or tell you how to do it.

Then, to be able to use that memory limit, you should tell WordPress to use all available memory.

For example if your PHP memory limit is increased to 256, you need to put the below line to your wp-config.php

define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ );

Otherwise WP wont use the memory available.
