 * I had problems when making posts due to memory, getting the error Fatal error:
   Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted, so I added the following code
   into my wp_config.php file: `define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');`
 * After I saved it, and checked wp_config.php using Filezilla, the php code was
   all messed up and rendering all on one line like this:
 * Since then, my website does not work as I keep getting this error: `Parse error:
   syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/gobeyond/public_html/wp-config.php
   on line 12`
 * How can I fix the php code so that it shows up and renders properly again?
 * Nvm, found a sample wp_config.php, and changed mine to match it. Fixed.

 * You may need to re-create your wp-config.php file. This time make sure that you
   use a plain text editor and upload the file in ASCII format.
