 * Thanks for info so far I don’t know if you guys are still listening
 * I’m a bit of a WP beginner so forgive me if I say something silly.
 * I read lots of threads and I tried everything I saw to fix this problem. Changes
   to wp-config, wp-settings didn’t seem to help. Any changes I made to the htaccess
   file I get a “Internal Server Error” so I changed it right back again.
 * what worked for me
    1) created a new php.ini in wp-admin include a line memory_limit
   = 256M (I couldn’t find a php.min on my server) 2) changed the default-constants.
   php file in wp-includes to set the memory limit to 128M
 * songdogtech- you said “Don’t change default-constants.php”. As this is the only
   thing that worked I wonder if you could explain why I shouldn’t do this?
