[Plugin: Better WP Security] Fatal error: Allowed memory size

This is a site – not a plugin – issue. Try increasing the memory available to PHP.

this only happends when I activate the plugin. Yesterday works fine, today, after creating a new post, this error happends. I try to deactivate all plugins, and when activate again, this plugins cause this error.

Were you using the filechecker feature? Try deleting ‘bwps_filecheck’ from your options table and it should take care of it. Unfortunately file checking is a VERY memory intensive feature…

no.. I dont have in use.. I only have 2 bwp tables:
_bwps_lockouts
_bwps_log

I have the same issue, and already 256M in use:

Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes) in /home/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1443, referer: https://www.mysite.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=better-wp-security-databasebackup

I can backup my DB (and directories too!) using, e.g. BackUpWordPress
I am using the last plugins versions and WP 3.4

@dskmusic it is in your options table.

@faina09 256MB is more than adequate on every site I’ve ever tried it on. Are you using many other plugins? How large is the database?

@bit51 , ok, is work again ?? thanks!

@bit51 Yes I have a lot of plugings, about 40 but the memory used during normal operations is around 72M. (console debug plugin reposrt)
The db itself is 12Mb (sum of tables size)

@dskmusic please can you describe what have you done?

@ faina09

Was the plugin working fine before updating to WordPress 3.4? The latest version of WordPress causes more memory consumption.

I’ve noticed it varies from site to site. Seems like there are a lot more memory related questions at www.ads-software.com since the latest update. There may be a correlation.

I used it only with the new 3.4 wp version

I delete ‘bwps_filecheck’ from wordpress options table.

The filecheck, by definition, is memory intensive and disabling it should solve any memory issues that can’t be resolved by increasing the memory available to the application.

Hi. I just deleted the bwps_filecheck from the table and I am still having issues. Anyone try anything additional to resolve things?

All you need to do is edit your servers php.ini file and increase the memory size. If there isn’t one then you can make one and stick it anywhere you need it. Home directory obviously will cover entire site.
