Fatal Error Issue

  • Hi,

    I’m using WP V3.6.1 and Styles V1.1.7 for my multi-site website.

    I made a child theme of Twenty Ten on my network and activated Styles for complete customization of each website I create. I use the plugin with Twenty Ten Options and Styles:Twenty Ten for better customization. The latter plugins too are of latest version.

    I created few websites using the above plugins and theme and then a fatal error was thrown as:

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 956301312 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 33554432 bytes) in /wp-content/plugins/styles/classes/styles-admin.php on line 224

    I am not able to access the back-ends of the site.

    Then by searching in the Forums, I got this info of increasing the memory size of WordPress in settings.php and defining WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT in wp-config.php

    These changes worked, but later, the plugin activation caused the same fatal error for my website, say xyz.mydomain.org and then all the websites I made after them and activated the plugin within each of its plugin area, the back-end got inaccessible.

    Kindly help!

    I’d normally say “increase the memory limit,” but 956,301,312 bytes (956 MB!) is an ENORMOUS amount of memory for a site to be using. This is abnormal and should be fixed.

    Can you help me with some details to try to identify why this is happening? For starters, what are the names of the plugins you have active, and how many sites are in your Network?

    I just ran some checks on Styles memory usage with every option set (about 250 options).

    Styles tries pretty hard to minimize the amount of memory it takes up. When every option was set on a stock WordPress install, I see:

    Customizer memory usage increases from 28MB to 38MB
    Front-end memory usage increases from 22MB to 23MB.

    Since you’re seeing memory usage of 956 MB, some likely culprits to look for are:

    • Your plugin or theme is hitting an infinite loop. If you’re writing custom code, check for functions that might never end. If you’re using plugins, try disabling all plugins, then re-enabling them one-by-one until the problem re-appears. If that doesn’t work, try switching to the default theme. If the problem goes away, the issue is in the theme code.
    • Look for plugins that might be storing an enormous amount of information to your database. Are you running some sort of cache, indexing plugin, or related/featured posts plugin? If these save information to your wp_options table, the increased memory usage would continue even when they are disabled. Sometimes deleting the plugin in wp-admin can remove that data usage.
