 * 1. Increase the memory limit setting in php.ini (e.g. memory_limit = 64M ;). 
   Many hosts may not allow this.
    2. Increase the memory limit via .htaccess (e.
   g. php_value memory_limit 64M). Many hosts may not allow this. 3. Increase the
   memory limit via wp-config.php (e.g. define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64MB’);)
