 * Perfect! Many thanks!
 * Basically, **wp_usermeta** had too many entries, so I searched the term **edit_post_per_page**
   in the database, found it, and fixed it.

 * The only thing I ‘ve found out was that it is not related to files of the theme.
 * I changed the theme, tried again, and still didn’t work.
 * Also, I tried searching in the database for the term “999” and didn’t find much
   there either.
 * So, the setting must be saved in one of the files. But which one?

 * The first entry in database table “wp_users” is the log in of the administrator.
   The default is admin, but you could have chosen a different one.

 * I was on that page …/wp-admin/edit.php,
    I clicked on Screen Options and I wanted
   to buld edit many posts, so I put 999 as the number of posts to appear on this
   page.
 * When it tried to update the page, it couldn’t do it because of memory problems.
 * This is the error message:
 * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   1048576 bytes) in /……/wordpress/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1981
 * I think that the number of 999 posts is too high to be processed, so I am looking
   for alternative ways to change it back to a normal, smaller number.
 * Now, the page ../wp-admin/edit.php doesn’t load at all, giving the above error
   message.

 * Thanks, but this is something different. Maybe I wasn’t very clear. The posts_per_page
   in wp_options gives the number of posts when the user selects a category of the
   wordpress.
 * My question is for the admin page. When I select “All Posts” in the admin page,
   there is a “Screen Options” at the top. One option there is the number of posts
   to appear in the “All Posts”. This is what I am looking for. Specifically, this
   page: …/wp-admin/edit.php
