Too much memory

Hello.

You are the first one with this problem. It seems to me that some other plugin that consumes a lot of memory is to blame. Try disabling other plugins that display something on the post list page

So I’m the second one.
I see that problem after upgrade from 3.4.1 to 3.7.6.

If I disable auto-post-thumbnail – no more “memory exhausted error”.
If I revert to 3.4.1 – no more “memory exhausted error”.

Will try to figure out at which version it has started.

rev 2154675 from SVN works, rev 2168173 does not
From the comments this is change that happened between 3.5.1 & 3.6.0

Ah, and error occurs at https://…/wp-admin/edit.php (maybe other pages too).

By the way, @webtemyk, after the original response 2 months ago, I tried what you suggested and disabled every other plugin on the site, and still got the error. I had no time to pursue the issue further, so I removed your plugin and found another plugin I could work with. I forgot to report the results back here (sorry about that).

@wwday3 do you operate on a large database? Since it seems not to be that common issue I wonder what could be additional (non-typical) factor involved…

(My WordPress has ~20K posts and database dump is ~1GiB)

I would say the site where I had the plugin installed is not larger than yours, perhaps a bit smaller.

The issue presented itself when I updated the plugin from the repository. Before the update, no problem. As soon as I updated, the error occurred. I manually moved the plugin to a “plugins2” directory, the error went away, I submitted the ticket, and looked for a replacement.

Later, I deleted the plugins2 directory, so I can’t even check now what version it was.

Sorry I’m not more help.

Hello, @janslupski

can you send me the full text of the error?

This is the exact error message in the apache2 log file (although I’m not sure if it is helpful, as it does not point what exactly exhausted the memory):
