 * I currently run 2 separate WP blogs, and recently have began experiencing memory
   error problems on both. I initially contacted my hosting company and they responded
   with:
    “Please kindly notice that we don’t support third party software, please
   contact your IT guy regarding this issue. I set memory_limit to 64M on this path‘/
   public_html/Blog1/wp-includes/’.”
 * The errors persist and they are as follows:
 * **Blog1**
 * When attempting auto upgrade to new version of WP:
    Fatal error: Allowed memory
   size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2964967 bytes) in /public_html/
   Blog1/wp-includes/http.php on line 1363
 * Otherwise no other errors.
 * **Blog 2**
 * When attempting auto upgrade to new version of WP:
    Fatal error: Allowed memory
   size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2964967 bytes) in /public_html/
   Blog1/wp-includes/http.php on line 1363
 * In Dashboard, Google Analytics:
    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432
   bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 491520 bytes) in /public_html/blog2/wp-includes/
   class-simplepie.php on line 9906
 * In Dashboard, Incoming Links:
    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes
   exhausted (tried to allocate 491520 bytes) in /public_html/blog2/wp-includes/
   class-simplepie.php on line 9906

 * 1. esmi, my php.ini file already contains “memory_limit = 64M “
 * 2. When I try adding “php_value memory_limit 32M” this to the .htaccess file,
   my site stops working and I get an internal server error message saying “The 
   server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete
   your request….”
 * 3. I added this line to the wp-config.php file:
    define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’32M’);
 * Same error message prevails..

   has changed on either site.

 * Ok, I kept playing around with the various suggestions. I upgraded the values
   in the php.ini and wp-settings.php files from 64 to 128. Still nothing. I then
   deactivated all Plugins on that blog and reloaded the two changed files again
   and the automatic update problem went away.
 * I then deactivated the plugins on the second blog, Idid not have permission to
   update the php.ini file on this blog using ftp, but uploaded the modified wp-
   settings.php file. The Dashboard problems went away on this blog, however I was
   unable to do auto upgrade to v.3 of WP.
 * Got the error message:
    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted(
   tried to allocate 2964967 bytes) in /public_html/blog/wp-includes/http.php on
   line 1363
 * EDIT*
    for some reason while I was unable to edit or update the php.ini file,
   I was able to just delete it and upload an updated version. Still no help. I 
   changed the values to 256 and that made no difference.

 * There’s a plugin available for admin memory bumping that you can try

 * Update
    I realized afterwards that I didn’t have all the Plugins off when I thought
   I did. Once they were off every thing worked fine. However now that I started
   turning them back on, the error messages are back on the Dashboard page.
