Same issue with me. Not sure, how to fix.

memory limit is set to 128, but the error message says:
"tried to allocate 72 bytes", it’s lower than memory limit, so imo increasing memory limit makes no sense.
134217728 bytes (=128 MB) is the memory limit allocated on your server for PHP scripts
72 bytes (=6.86 MB) is what that PHP script has tried to use more than the allocated one
@ soamz My answer was for wujek_bogdan.
Looking at your topic linked above you have a very low memory limit, 48 M, so you’d have to set it at least at 96 M, if your host allows it.

@tizz
thx for the explanation. let’s try to increase it a bit more.
Hi guys,
I had the same fatal memory error you did and i found a possible solution to look at before adjusting memory. This is for anyone who gets the error in the future.
As others have noted, removing plugins helps but doesn’t fix the problem. That’s because the problem is something else.
In my case (and someone else I saw online) the problem was caused by an entry in the theme settings. One of the text entries was getting a whole bunch of //////’s added to the text entry every time the page was saved. When I got the memory error, the entry had gone from “This is where my studio is” to “This is//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// where my studio is” but with about a thousand slashes!
I suggest that anyone having the memory problem look through their text entries in theme settings for a similar problem. Not sure what causes it but sure glad to know how to fix it.
