 * Hello, I recently set up a page that calls wp-load.php outside of WordPress and
   it worked fine, until recently (perhaps after a WP upgrade).
 * Now I am receiving an fatal error saying that the allowed memory size has been
   exhausted. I bumped up the memory_limit from 64M to 128 and added a php.ini file
   to the ‘wp-e-commerce’ and ‘shipping’ directories just to see if that helped 
   anything, but all it did was change what file it said was causing the problem.
 * The first error:
 * > Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   > 122880 bytes) in /my_path/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/shipping/usps.php
   > on line 161
 * The second error:
 * > Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   > 122880 bytes) in /my_path/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/merchants/paypal_pro.
   > php on line 120
 * If I access any page on my actual WP site, I have no error messages, it is only
   when I try to use my Outside WP page that I keep getting this error.
 * Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get around this?
 * Thank you in advance for any feedback!
 * WP: 9.2.1
    WP E-Commerce: 3.7.5.3 PHP: 5.2.11

 * Go to wp-config.php and look for something like “define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);”(
   the number could be different).
 * If it isn’t there, add it. You may have to increase the number, but I wouldn’t
   go above 128M.

 * Worked for me too!!! 🙂 My wp-config.php didn’t have that line. I just paste:
   `
   define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '96M');`
