 * Cant post any updates on any pages unless I disable Wordfence plugin. Errors 
   on server, GoDaddy, reference php memory errors. Again, these go away when I 
   disable wordfence

 * I recommend increasing your PHP memory limit to 256 MB and enabling performance
   options in scan options.
 * `define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');`

 * Hi [@narrowback](https://wordpress.org/support/users/narrowback/)
 * WordPress, your theme and all plugins are trying to consume more server RAM memory
   to run PHP processes than is allowed by the web server. Please ask GoDaddy to
   increase the value of the `memory_limit` PHP directive on the server to `256M`
   as your web server is currently only allowing you to use 128MB (megabytes) of
   server RAM memory. Increasing that to 256MB should fix the problem.
