A common error you can come across in WordPress is a PHP memory limit error. This happens when WordPress doesn’t have enough memory to achieve what you want. It can be caused by poorly written plugins that will continue to run a procedure until the installation runs out of memory.
Since version 2.5 there is a wp-config.php option WP_MEMORY_LIMIT which allows you to configure the maximum amount of memory that can be used by PHP.
When you change this option in the wp-config.php it will only affect your WordPress site and not any other PHP sites.
The default memory allocated to WordPress is 32MB, if the value in the php.ini is more than the allocated WordPress amount WordPress will use this value.
For example if WordPress has allocated 32MB of memory and php.ini is configured to 64MB then WordPress will use 64MB.
To change the WordPress memory limit you just add the following into the wp-config.php.
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');
If this doesn’t change your allocated wordpress memory limit your hosts may not allow you change this setting, if this is the case you should contact your hosting company
