Thread: wordpress fatal error (need help)

Guy i just received a fatal error when i try to do mass delete (plugin), it was ok for month, everything just happen today ...

error code :

Code:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes) in /home/***/domains/***********.com/public_html/wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 1961

anyone can help ? sorry i'm noob in code

That error is normally something for your hosting company to fix, by raising the amount of RAM available to a PHP process.

This is from my own /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini file:

Code:

memory_limit = 1024M      ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume

You might be able to edit your own PHP memory_limit by placing this line in your .htaccess file:

Code:

php_value memory_limit 1024M

This plugin appears to be asking for more than 536,870,912 bytes of RAM. Can you try to a less massive delete?

It's a PHP limit to prevent one PHP process from utilizing all of the resources on the system. It looks like your host set this to 512M, which is a lot more than the default setting of 16M.

i increase the limit to 638mb with
#-------------------
php_value memory_limit 32M
#-------------------

in my htaccess, the error msg disappear but the script stop halfway (blank page) without delete anything ...

any issue with the code ? or the plugin ???

Umm... 32 is a lot less than 638.

Plus, php_value memory_limit may or may not work -- depending upon how your host has configured Apache. You'll need to check with your web host.

@SOnnyCool am I correct in reading that you get this error when using the WP backend to delete a plugin? Just wanted to make sure. If so, why not manually delete through your FTP client? If not, sorry for reading the above incorrectly.
