 * I’ve been getting a string of fatal error messages in my error_log:
    30-Jun-2016
   23:47:03 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted(
   tried to allocate 17301486 bytes) in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/blog/wp-content/
   plugins/better-wp-security/core/modules/backup/class-itsec-backup.php on line

 * Anyone have an idea what’s up with this?

 * Your product not only did not install but crashed my entire website and I am 
   having trouble on figuring out what I should do about it

 * Restore your site from a backup.
 * And next time open your own topic (unless you are getting the exact same message
   as the topic creator).

   found a better one.
