Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Fatal error: Out of memory (3.0 RC1)Update: I restarted httpd and it was fine. I guess now I’m interested in whether or not there are any tweaks we can do to decrease memory usage in WP? 20+ MB seems like an awful lot for a blog, especially on a brand new installation (I haven’t imported anything yet from my old WP).

In reply to: New WP3 install, no “Network” option under “Tools”Thanks for the quick response!
Ah, wonderful. Thanks for the link 🙂
Hmm… it looks like it’s by invite only. That’s an interesting way to do it. Looks like google has started (or rather, popularized) quite a trend. 😉Well, that’s great. If there’s already a free WP host out there, I don’t need to worry about that aspect anymore. 🙂 I’m thinking of giving users a choice of 3 or so popular open source blogging tools so that they’re not limited to only 1 option (even if WP is the best out there ;)). So, I probably will still include free WP hosting as one of my options.
Hmm… as a user with author permissions only, you have no control over the look and feel of your WP site, right? I’d think people would find that rather limiting…

In reply to: WordPress Hosting AccountThere shouldn’t be any restrictions from any reasonable host that’ll prevent you from hosting a WP site. It really only depends on how much space/bandwidth you think you’ll need. WP only requires php and mysql, and practically every host out there supports that. Check out:
or, specifically, their shared hosting offers forum:

and you’ll find tons of hosts with some of the cheapest prices around. If you want someone to install WP and various plugins for you, then that’s another question. But in the end, it’s best if you learn how to install WP yourself, imo. It’s really not that hard; the WP team have done a great job of making the installation process easy and painless. 🙂
Thanks for your reply, Matt.
Are the templates they only place they can insert their own PHP code? I could probably easily disable template modification, but then that would greatly limit the customizability of WP. Another option is to add a hook to the template modification to check for certain PHP functions, but that would require more work, and it may still create conflicts with legit users.
Hmmm…. what to do? I really want to provide a free WP hosting service to people who can’t afford a host, but I don’t want make my servers vulnerable to total strangers (versus paying customers who can be easily identified). Anyone have any ideas, or know of some other place/people that might have solutions? 🙂
