No Fixes Working for Fatal Error – Memory Exhausted

    Hi –
    I’ve installed several plugins with WordPress, including BuddpyPress. I’ve begun getting the warning – “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) in /home3/bingban1/public_html/wp/wp-admin/admin-header.php on line 116” – whenever I try to do anything with plugins. I’ve tried all the fixes I’ve found online (changing the memory allocation in the wp-config.php and wp-settings.php files) as well as increasing the PHP memory allocation on my server – nothing has fixed the problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Just to make sure we are on the same page, here is the official list of four things to try:

    Increase the amount of memory a PHP script may consume. Note: If using a shared hosting service, you may need to ask your host to increase the limit.

    1. Increase the memory limit setting in php.ini (e.g. memory_limit = 64M ;). Many hosts may not allow this.
    2. Increase the memory limit via .htaccess (e.g. php_value memory_limit 64M). Many hosts may not allow this.
    3. Increase the memory limit via wp-config.php (e.g. define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64MB’);)

    From the Codex FAQ @ http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Working_with_WordPress

    Don’t miss the one about contacting your host if nothing else works.

    Got it! Turns out I also had to alter the PHP config settings with my host from PHP5
    to PHP5 (Single php.ini). Going back to them for answers did the trick.

    I appreciate the help!

    Can’t get past an 18meg limit.
    Tried all above fixes & upped server memory allocation, tried ‘memory bump’.
    Turned plugins off with no effect.
    Added php_value memory_limit xM to .htaccess & all I get is a 500 error when this line is present regardless of # of megs set.
    PHPinfo shows that 64m is allocated & available.

    Any attempt to upgrade or add some plugins bombs after hitting 18 8xx xxx bytes. e.g.:-
    Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 18874368) (tried to allocate 77824 bytes)...

    This is hugely frustrating & obviously a frequent issue.
    Any help appreciated.
