    I’m experiencing an error and I am unable to access admin. My site and contents are up and running, but I can’t access admin log in page. I get this error message instead…

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 77824 bytes) in /home/content/95/4709195/html/wp-admin/includes/image.php on line 183

  • Admin requires more PHP memory than your public site. The number of plugins you have activated also adds to the amount of memory used.

    That message indicates that you are limited to 64MB. I would start by asking your hosting company what to do to get more than 64MB of PHP memory. If they say that you are allowed more, then check out some of the Memory threads and Codex entries.

    If you’re seeing this error either suddenly (no specific task was done to cause the error) or frequently, try deactivating all plugins to rule-out a plugin-specific issue and try switching themes to rule-out a theme-specific issue.

    Otherwise, here are three ways to increase PHP’s memory allocation:

    1. If you can edit or override the system php.ini file, increase the memory limit. For example, memory_limit = 256M

    2. If you cannot edit or override the system php.ini file, add php_value memory_limit 256M to your .htaccess file.

    3. If neither of these work, it’s time to ask your hosting provider to temporarily increase PHP’s memory allocation on your account. Keep in mind that most decent hosting providers allocate 32 MB to PHP under each account, and most decent hosting providers allow users to temporarily increase the memory allocation. If your hosting provider won’t accommodate you, perhaps it’s time to find a new hosting provider.

    (in the above examples, the limit is set to 256MB)
