Memory Errors after installing PRO when tried to activate.

[Shannon]

After purchasing PRO and installing, all admin area links come up with error messages like this.
It started consistently after attempting to ‘activate’ PRO.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 49152 bytes) in /home/fractrain/public_html/phangancalendar.com/wp-admin/includes/post.php on line 519

and similarly

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 5760 bytes) in /home/fractrain/public_html/phangancalendar.com/wp-admin/includes/media.php on line 2775

The front-end appears to be working http://phangancalendar.com/ but I have nothing but errors on any admin pages. Stuck 🙁

Prior to this, I had similar memory errors coming up intermittently, such as when trying quick edit pending events, but not consistently and not grinding the whole admin to a halt.

Hi Shannon. Sorry you’re experiencing this.

It sounds like you might require a more powerful server. Or, often times web hosts will allow you to increase the memory limit on your current server.

Here are some helpful links regarding this:

• Here’s is how to upgrade WordPress’ memory limit, right from the WP Codex.
• Here is the PHP reference for modifying your php.ini memory limit. Sometimes this is necessary as well. Not all hosting plans allow you to edit the php.ini file, so you would need to consult with your provider on how to do it and if you need to switch plans. You might even ask them what the maximum allowed memory is for the current plan, and make sure you are already there.

Keep in mind that WordPress is a powerful application, and our Calendar only adds to that power. Often times the cheapest hosts out there simply will not accommodate these, especially once you start having a lot of posts or events.

Thanks 🙂

You’re welcome. I’m glad that solved it for you. Thanks for letting me know. 🙂
