 * HI,
    Free version Virtue 2.3 PHP: 5.2 MySQL: 5.1 Free Host: 000webhost
 * I tried to install the plugin “Polylang” and I got that message:
 * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   7680 bytes)…….public_html/wp-admin/includes/deprecated.php on line 837
 *  So I went in me FTP and delete extra themes (2) that I tried and didn’t use 
   + plugins that I do use
 * I deleted the polylang version that has been installed when I got that message
   
   I went on WP.org Download a fresh version Went in my FTP and installed it manually
   Back in my dash board: I’ve been able to install polylang, activate it but when
   I press the button for settings….I still get the fatal error message above
 * Is it that the message is still stocked there or I still miss space???
    I did
   delete 2 themes and 1 plugin…..unless it doesn’nt make any difference Is ther
   a way to fix that?
 * thanking you in advance

 * The error is not referring to file space so deleting stuff won’t help. The message
   is referring to the amount of RAM memory assigned to PHP. See:

 * Thank you for your fast answer,
 * Where I can find the amount of RAM memory that I am allowed?
 * I must say that I am not very familiar with the technical language
 * thank you in advance

 * Make a file called say test.php, in wordpress root, containing this code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       phpinfo();
       ```
   
 * Put the file path and name in your browser address bar to run it. Look for a 
   line that says: memory_limit, what value does it give? We can go forward from
   there.
 * Delete the file after use as it is a security risk.

 * Dear lorro,
 * I am really sorry, I do not want to waste your time ( I find you very generous
   to try to help) but I don’t even know how to do what you are asking….I am a beginner
   and I do not understand much….
 * I think that I am going just delete that plugin and try to find another way to
   make my site bilingual…..

 * lucie02,
    bilingual plugins require more php memory. IF you are on a free hosting
   then it’s likely the issue but you can contact your host and see if they allow
   you to set custom php settings. They may even help you get the max php memory
   increased.

 * Hey,
    I did contact my host already 2 times for other issues and the answer is
   always the same : free hosting limit so upgrade if you want more…..
 * I have started to look for a Host that I would pay for it….
    I know that I need
   PHP minimum version 5.2 or more MySQL minimum version 5 Apache or Lite Speed 
   acces FTP But when we talk about memory script,disk space, MB,MO,GO I am completely
   lost I do not know what amount I would need to be able to add let say my plugins
   that I would like to add, my Paypal , social reseaux, my futurs photos for my
   items etc… I don’t want to pay for something and get the same problem than right
   now…. I have a very simple website and I don’t believe that it will be very busy
   because of my domain of creation but even then, right now I can’t do much with
   my present host….. lucie02

 * See: [https://wordpress.org/hosting/](https://wordpress.org/hosting/)
 * [Forum guidelines](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Closing_Posts) don’t
   allow further discussions of specific hosts – but if your site is pretty basic,
   you should be okay with shared hosting from a good provider. Do some research
   around the web to find one that meets your needs.

 * Hi,
    Sorry if you misunderstood me… I was not looking for host names
 * I was looking more for info about minimum amount needed to run correctly a basic
   site for p.ex. disk space, memory script etc…
    I knew that I would go for a shared
   hosting But when I look for more info about ex memory, disk space etc some site
   put it in MO other in GO etc and I cannot compare not knowing the difference…
 * This is my very first website so I do not know what would be a “good” minimum
   of memory or space disk to add plugins, photos etc wihtout having to upgrade 
   in a few month

 * Hey,
    To be clear: the “memory” that was talked about in this forum is not a 
   server memory. It’s your php memory. It’s a setting and on most hosts one that
   you can change because it isn’t the server. Just a php setting. As WPyogi wrote
   do some research around the web for a good shared host and you’ll be fine when
   it comes to php memory and disk space (most good hosts have unlimited disk space).
