Allowed memory size of..

Question

"Allowed memory size of 138412032 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes)" ive got this error on WordPress Admin site - what thats mean???

Answer 1

It's a PHP memory issue covered in the Wordpress documentation.

Here is a discussion of the same on the Wordpress Support Forum.

Basically, WP is using too much memory. You can adjust the amount of memory for specifically WP within the wp-config.php file using, for example,:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '96M');

To set the limit to 96MB.

From the manual:

Please note, this setting may not work if your host does not allow for increasing the PHP memory limit--in that event, contact your host to increase the PHP memory limit. Also, note that many hosts set the PHP limit at 8MB.
