WP Memory limit question

    Hello WP Geeks. 😉

    I have some questions about the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT

    I have a few friends and clients that have updated or installed WP 3.1 last week, but after they did they had some problems with the php memory.

    Some pages load in the browser some don’t.. Most of the time it’s the admin section that doesn’t load. I found out that increasing the memory limit in the wp-config.php file helps out and fixes this problem. Also i found out that most of the time this happens when you have or try to install WP in some other language as default English. My friends and clients all have Dutch versions with a few plugins..

    Now i was searching and asking myself why doesn’t the WordPress team set the memory to 64 by default? Why not upgrade this by default installs?

    What are the ‘negative’ sides of this upgrade of memory?
    Will it slow down your WordPress code?

    And if you placed this line of code in the wp-config.php.
    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '96M');

    Will this 96M help me better than 64M for the next 3 years without problems?

    Jaja,

    Memory limit is related to PHP. You need to access php.ini file and change memory_limit directive to any value you need, for example 64M. Sometimes php.ini is unavailable for some hosts, however there are few other methods to increase this value, for example .htaccess file or vhost.conf if you have Plesk panel.
