Cannot approve comments

One more problem here! I tried to turn off the comments moderation in order to let my readers comment more easily and when I go to “Appearence” and “Customize” I got this message:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 491520 bytes) in /home/cossiow/public_html/blog/wp-admin/menu.php on line 235

What have I did wrong when I upgraded to version 3.0?

Thanks!!!

It seems that the problem is solved when deactivating some plugins. Now my question is, is there a limit in the number of plugins I can add to my site?

Thanks

Please, anybody help? I have even tried the first four ways to increase PHP memory that a moderator indicated, with no results…

??

[M]y readers told me they get an error message every time they want to leave a comment. Can you please help me?

We could help, but we’d need to know the exact error message.

Now my question is, is there a limit in the number of plugins I can add to my site?

Generally, no. Technically, you’re limited by the amount that you can physically fit into your available server space and the amount of memory and other server resources that they consume when activated.

Regarding the memory issue, first try installing the Memory Bump plugin.

If that doesn’t work, here are four ways to increase PHP’s memory allocation:

1. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
If your line shows 32M try 64M:
memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (64MB)

2. If you don't have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
php_value memory_limit 64M

3. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
Increasing memory allocated to PHP
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

4. Talk to your host.

Thanks for your help, Macmanx. It looks that the problem with the comments has been solved on its own, but I keep on having problems with memory after doing the first 3 steps you told me to do. Now I’ll contact my host.

Thanks a lot ??

Hi again. I’m here because the problem with the coments is happening again. The error message my readers get when trying to leave a comment is:

“There was an error submitting your comment. Please try again.”

I’m having several other issues since I upgraded to version 3.0. I have even reinstalled it and solved some of them doing this, but the problem with the comments and the plugins is still on.

I’m thinking about going back to version 2.9. How can I do that?

I’m clueless… ??

Thanks for any help you can provide ??

I’m sorry, I know I shouldn’t bump the message, but it’s been a week since I posted it, and I really need a solution, because my readers keep on finding that error message when tryinn to leave a commment.

Thanks a lot for your help ??

Esther,

Did you figure out the problem? I’m having the same issue and will gladly get back to you if/when I find a solution.
