[Plugin: Search and Replace] memory size fatal error

  • i am trying to run a search for “.%%”, but get the following:

    “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16 bytes)…”

    is there a way to allocate more memory?

    8bitkid,

    You probably need to be more specific about what you are searching for. % is normally a wild card in SQL so it’s probably trying to load an excessive amount of data and overwhelming the memory of the server.

    would you have a recommendation for an alternate search query that would be appropriate to identify two spaces trailing after a period?

    many thanks.

    I just had the same problem with the Memory size error, but I think I don;t have an way to reduce the query, as I am making a change to hard-coded URLs in the content table… anyone have ideas?

    Specifically I have about 2,500 “posts” from 2.5 years of publishing, and over half of them have hard-coded links to a pages using a directory structure that was changed.

    Everything went fine on the Dev site (and Dev DB) which is much smaller, but when I tried to run it on the Live DB it couldn’t handle the size is seems.

    Thanks

    Good news – figured out a way to parse the terms more specifically and just ran the function 8 different times. nice.
