WHere do I find my wp-config.php file to increase memory at a loss.Jigoshop

  • I am getting a warning that I need to increase to 64mb of memory. But I have no idea where to do it at. The text talks about going to the host? Other searches tell me to go to the php file….I have no clue where to go or how to find it. Here is the text and thanks in advance.This is coming from Jigoshop.
    Also released with Version 2.5, the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT option allows you to specify the maximum amount of memory that can be consumed by PHP. This setting may be necessary in the event you receive a message such as “Allowed memory size of xxxxxx bytes exhausted”.

    This setting increases PHP Memory only for WordPress, not other applications. By default, WordPress will attempt to increase memory allocated to PHP to 40MB (code is at beginning of wp-settings.php), so the setting in wp-config.php should reflect something higher than 40MB.

    WordPress will automatically check if PHP has been allocated less memory than the entered value before utilizing this function. For example, if PHP has been allocated 64MB, there is no need to set this value to 64M as WordPress will automatically use all 64MB if need be.

    Please note, this setting may not work if your host does not allow for increasing the PHP memory limit–in that event, contact your host to increase the PHP memory limit. Also, note that many hosts set the PHP limit at 8MB.

    You may want to try the Jigoshop forums, as it’s possible it’s a common error there.

    The Codex article has you put a line about it on the wp-config.php file. That’s easy enough to find, just open up your site via FTP and it’s right there in the root directory. Copy-paste the line of code in and you should be all set.

    You will need to use the file manager in your cPanel or FTP client and navigate to your site’s root directory (often called public_html) where you will find various directories (wp-admin / wp-content / wp-includes) and individual files. Both your wp-config.php file and php.ini files should be located in this directory, and both can be used to increase your php limit. Try your wp-config.php first. Make a backup copy of any file before you add new code, and if that doesn’t help, remove the code and contact your host.

    Well the memory is 256 I have confirmed with Hostgator. Jigoshop says not their issue. If I am above the minimum, why wont the warning go away?
