Updating Plugins generates ‘Memory Size exhausted’ Error

    I have the following Problem:

    Whenever I try to update a plugin or theme, the update is completed successfully, but I receive the following errors:

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) in /www/htdocs/w0197192/domain.de/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/lib/wfConfig.php on line 648

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 135168 bytes) in /www/htdocs/w0197192/domain.de/wp-includes/pomo/streams.php on line 118

    Additionally, both Updraft Plus and BackWPup are unable to generate Database Backups (the Rest of the Backup works fine).

    I have tried disabling different plugins in troubleshooting mode and surprisingly, once about half of the plugins are disabled, BOTH Plugin-Updates and Database-Backups work without errors (while still in troubleshooting mode). It seems, however, that there is no specific plugin that causes the issues, once it is activated.

    I have already increased the Memory Limit to 512 MB due to problems with white screen some time ago.

    Thanks so much in advance for your advise!!

    I’m dealing with the same issue. I came across this article and added the code to my wp-config.php file and it fixed it, so now I need to dig deeper into why this keeps happening. Hope this helps

    Thank you very much for the advise! Unfortunately, the code didn’t really improve things for me, I received the following error for a change…

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 55924040 bytes) in /www/htdocs/w0197192/domain.de/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1999

    Warning: Attempt to modify property ‘skip_plugins’ of non-object in /www/htdocs/w0197192/domain.de/wp-content/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/classes/Sensors/PluginsThemes.php on line 1338

    Nontheless, if you are able to find a reason and/or solution for your issue, please let me know @wpdv !

    Thanks!
