When your WordPress site requires more memory than the default allocated memory, you will see this error message:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2348617 bytes) in /home/xxx/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line xxx
1. There are a number of methods to correct this. We will discuss the most basic ones below:
– Check within your Hosting account (either Direct Admin or cPanel)
– Go to Select PHP Version and select Options
– Increase your Memory Limit – example if it is set to 512 MB, increase to 2 GB.
– Click Apply
2. If you still experience the same issue, this could be related to a Memory_Limit set within your WordPress files themselves. This is usually within the wp-config.php.
– Go to File Manager and enter
/home/xxx/public_html/wp-config.php
– Edit memory_limit in this WordPress wp-config.php file and Increase accordingly.
3. Other files that may influence the memory limit that can be checked:
/home/xxx/.htaccess
/home/xxx/public_html/.htaccess
/home/xxx/user.ini
/home/xxx/public_html/user.ini
If the above does not help, this could be related to a WordPress theme or plugin that could be forcing a Memory Limit Set within a different stored file stored,
