• Hi
    I am having the problem with php memory limit. I have increased php memory to 128MB in php.ini but it is not updated. It still show i have 32MB php memory limit. When I check php info file, it shows 128MB. When I check php limit information with TPC! Memory Usage plugin, it shows 32MB. I talk to web hosting, they told they have increased it to 128MB but why I am still having 32MB.
    When I add php_value memory_limit 16M to .htaccess file it shows 500 server error to my site.
    My wordpress memory limit is set to 128Mb so there is no problem with wp memory.

    Any help?

    kind regard

  • Did you ever get this resolved? If so… how?

    write in wp-config.php file following code
    define("WP_MEMORY_LIMIT", 128);

    One more thing that when you updare the php.ini file then need to restart the server(apache or IIS); After that you will get updating settings.

    I did and set it to 200mb

    The max memory available is now 200mb but it still shows the memory limit as 90MB! See below. Any ideas…

    Did you restart apache after increasing the PHP limit?

    Sure did… Restarted many times. I think thats why I see the available memory as 200mb. But setting the memory limit in the config file didn’t help.

    hmm…Just check if you inserted the code correctly in wp-congifg.php file…
    Eg:-
    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT','200m');

    man… this is weird. I actually cut and paste your statement verbatim… Plus I restarted apache from the root account in ssh.

    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT','200m');

    The only difference was the lowercase ‘m’. But… no luck. still says the memory limit is 90.

    I don’t get it? is this cached or in the database somewhere?

    Where are you adding this code? at the end of the file?

    Hey there… I’m putting it in the config.php file near the end. See below.

    /** WordPress absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
    if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
    	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
    
    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT','200m');
    
    /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
    require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');

    clear the cache & deactivate all cache plugins and see if it helps.
    if it doesn’t open wp-includes >> default-constants.php and check whether this code exists(on line 39)
    @ini_set('memory_limit', WP_MEMORY_LIMIT);

    hey there…

    @ini_set('memory_limit', WP_MEMORY_LIMIT); does exist.

    I also manually deleted the cache. that must be getting set somewhere. Arggh 🙁

    Site is very slow sometimes.

    try to change that line and see if it works(also clear cache after changing it)
    @ini_set('memory_limit', '200M');

    didnt work. man!

    I really need help on this too. I tried everything above, but in my case it looks like something is keeping it at a memory limit of 32M.

    Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 7680 bytes) in /home/mysite/public_html/blog/wp-includes/kses.php(550) : runtime-created function

    My host tried bumping it up to 64M and 80M but the same thing, exhausted at 32M. Help!

    Give this Plugin a try: Memory Bump
