 * Hello guys,
 * I’ve installed Yoast SEO plugin on my site and when I activate it, I get below
   error –
 * `PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to 
   allocate 20480 bytes) in /home/public_html/wp-includes/meta.php on line 1074`
 * Does this error related to Yoast plugin? Could you please suggest about this?
 * Thanks!!

 * [@codehunter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codehunter/) Thank you for 
   contacting the Yoast support team. We are sorry to hear that you’re having trouble
   with memory errors on your site. Unfortunately we aren’t able to say exactly 
   what caused this memory error on your site.
 * This error occurs when your server runs out of memory to complete the task at
   hand. Increasing the memory allotted or decreasing the number of tasks will fix
   the issue.
 * In order to fix the error, you’ll need to increase the maximum allowed memory
   by reaching out your web hosting provider. If you’re familiar with server management,
   you can change the “**memory_limit”** value directly from the “**php.ini**” file.
