Wordpress - Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 48496640) - netfirms

Question

I'm having a problems uploading images and keep getting the same error message.

I've googled the issues and have found some "fixes" but they don't seem to be doing anything.

I've tried adding a custom php.ini file Adding ini_set('memory_limit' ... in the file that throws the error

The site is being hosted by Netfirm (which has been painfully slow!) does any one know how I could go about fixing this error?

Thanks

I still haven't had any luck getting this resolved. I've edited the wp-config, and php.ini file with not luck.

And every time I try to increase the memory but using the .htaccess file it shows this error.

Error in /mnt/w0239/d41/s37/b0325e92/www/DOMAINNAME/.htaccess: Invalid command 'php_value', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Any thought on what might be causing the problem?

Answer 1

Three tricks to increase overall memory for Wordpress, which work much better than trying to allocate memory just for image uploading:

Add this line in your .htaccess file:

php_value memory_limit 128M

or this line near the top of your wp-config.php file:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');

or in an account wide php.ini, if you have one or have access to it:

memory_limit = 128M;

If those don't work, your host may simply have memory settings that can't be overridden. Might have to find a new host. In the Wordpress forums, people complain about Netfirms being slow and not fully supporting permalinks.

Hi Adam,

I work at Netfirms and would like to fix your problem. Can you post the URL thats throwing this error.
