So I’ve been experiencing 500 Internal Server Errors with WP v2.0.5 and to help I installed the 2.0.5 tune up file. <\/p>\n

Things were working ok but then the errors started happening again. I emailed my host support about it and here is the reply that I received:<\/p>\n

\n

The problem appears to be PHP memory_limit in the php.ini file. The default level is 8MB and WordPress requires more than that. That is why you are receiving that particular error. <\/p>\n

What we can do is increase this memory_limit to the maximum 32MB. <\/p>\n

Please advise us if you would like to proceed with this increase.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Before I tell them to up the limit, does this sound like a legit reply about why this could be happening?<\/p>\n

Thanks in advance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-475435","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-errors","topic-tag-issues","topic-tag-server"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/475435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/475435\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=475435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
