 * I keep getting this error. I had this before but normally it was a plugin error.
   After disabling the plugin everything worked as it should. But now this error
   just appeared. It appears only when I try to access the backend. The frontend
   works normally (except that it’s outdated for about 2 months now).
 * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   930 bytes) in /home/pdplanik/public_html/wp-includes/pomo/entry.php on line 76
 * My hosting provider said I should reinstall wordpress (I copied all the up to
   date files except wp-config).
 * I also tried to increese the memory in wp-confi with define( ‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’,‘
   256M’ );
 * Nothing worked and my provider is really no help at all. They just ignore the
   issue. I am inclined to thing this is a server side issue.

 * Inserting that results in a 500 internal server error.
 * This is how I did it:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       php_value memory_limit 256M
       # END WordPress
       ```

 * Hi,
 * Remove `php_value_memory_limit 256M` from htaccess file.
    Open your wp-config.
   php file and add the following code to the very bottom, but just before the “
   happy blogging” line:
 * `define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '3000M');`
 * Regards,
