Hi @gryphonhalley
I’m curious – what did you type into your wp-config to “increase the PHP”
Have you cleared your server caches?
Finally and probably utmost – I recommend you contact your hosting service because they could clear this up quickly for you.
Hey @sagehen I added the following
(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’);
On the very top of the wp-config file which I realize is where my error is. However, when I went back to edit it, it’s gone. So I am unsure how to proceed.
Will my hosting provider know how to fix this without me knowing exactly what I messed up? I just reached out to them.
I did clear my cache and this did not work.

Yes, they in most cases would fix that handily for you, as would your WP developer. Most hosts will do a few small “oopsy” repairs for a customer, gratis.
FWIW the code you added to a wp-config.php file needed to go after the opening <?php tag, and needed to include the word define() before the opening bracket, e.g.
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
Also, most servers don’t like curly quotes and can choke on them. I changed those for straight quotes in my code example here.

If that code is gone and your site is working, carry on. Hosts and WP core have ways of self-repairing broken config files. Maybe even try re-adding the correct code I just posting, after the opening php tag…. actually, even lower toward the bottom, where the config file suggests where people add their code.
@sagehen Unfortunatley this didn’t work. I noticed some additional text under the ‘stop editing here’ tag that I never noticed before. I tried deleting it and adding the text to the area you’ve mentioned to no avail. I have opened a ticket with my hosting provider. I do not have a developer unfortunately so I have to figure this out on my own.

@gryphonhalley Yeah, especially without knowing what you’re seeing or typing, it’s impossible to help you here. It’s just a “chat” about “stuff.” Asking for pro help is wise. Editing below where it says not to edit… not so sure 😉
