I have an 80mb memory limit, this should be more than enough…

I’m slowly applying one variation at a time, saving the product then applying another and so on…this seems fine until it gets to the last few its just breaks down…

I’m pretty sure this is not the site and is the plugin….

I am using a theme called Phomedia – should i contact them instead?

Thanks

i now have this message where the product should display:

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 76021760) (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /homepages/14/d416865762/htdocs/test/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1125

So i’ve tried adding one variation at a time and although this seems to work better, its now showing as I have 1 product published but there is nothing there…??

Can please someone help? Anyone?

Ok i’m back in to the wordpress control panel…i managed to re-upload the file variations.js and it seemed to do the trick…

Still doesn’t explain or help me with my initial problem.

I now have this problem! I can’t even get into the site at all?

Thanks everyone for your guidance and advice on this…definitely a lesson learnt on my behalf. For one I wont be doing any little 3 page sites anymore, I’m going to only do CMS sites and have a minimum price for them. Plus from now on i’m going to build all the sites on my server until there 100% happy and want to go live and i’ve been paid in full, to prevent this from ever happening again.

In answer to your question Fongih, when i first sat down with the client they said they only had a small budget and wanted a 3 page site with the intention of upgrading to a cms site in around 6 months time. I very rarely build basic html and css sites anymore and thought it would be silly and a time wasting excercice to build them a site like this only to have to rebuild the whole thing again in wordpress 6 months down the line, I know for a fact they wouldnt of wanted to pay me the full additional amount to rebuid into a cms, so thought i’d save time and do it in wordpress from the start. When i first me them, they didnt know anything about web development, and after all how i build there site is entirely up to me as long as it does what they want and looks how they want it. Quite quickly after i finished the site, they emailed and asked for passwords and access to it as they wanted to change and update it, when i went back and told them they wouldnt be able to as they had not bought a cms package from me, even if i had built it in html and css, they wouldnt of been able to update it as they told me they new nothing about web development, the html language plus wouldnt of had any software like dreamweaver etc to update it, any updates would of had to come through me anyway. They started getting really funny at this point and all of sudden were really clued up to wordpress and new i’d build the site in wordpress…(i can only think they were getting help from a developer or someone who knows a bit about web development)…at this stage communications started to break down. I also did some print work for them and they started asking me for original artwork files so there printer could edit them…which made me chuckle (they simply have no idea how the design world works and expected to pay me next to nothing and have everything).

Like i said above i’ll be taking the proper precautions from now on, its all a learning curve for me. This one is definitley a lost cause, but to be honest in a way i’m kind of glad as these are not the type of clients i want to be working with.

Thanks Clayton James for your response…

How would i prevent this from happening again…? Hopefully i wont be in this situation again as i wont be doing anymore web work on the cheap and allowing myself to be cheated in this way. But whats to say any customer/client could not just get someone to help them out and login into their own hosting account get access to the database and change the default account password…It’s not like i can deny them access to there own hosting account…

One thing to add, I had a back up account which they left but changed to a lower level access, I managed to login and out of spite, permanently delete all the images i’d created and pages…I’m guessing this will only be a short term retaliation as they will just be able to restore the site again? Hey they did it once, i’m sure they can do it again…

I’ve not responded to their email, and am thinking i probably wont give them the satisfaction of replying…at the end of the day they have got one up on me and there is probably nothing I can do about it apart from make it a lesson learnt.

Hi Doc4

Thank you so much for getting back to me, nice to know there is help out their.

No I probably wont be able to turn them in, as this was all done over a hand shake. I freelance evening and weekends and they had heard about me through a friend, they wanted to pay CIH as they didnt have a big budget and wanted a nice professional site to get them started as they were a start up company.

Lesson learnt really, but never thought for a minute they would have the balls or the brains to be able to pull this off.

I didnt give them any access at all, i thought about giving them a low level access, but they hadn’t paid me for a CMS site so stuck to my guns and didnt give them anything. I set up all their FTP and database when they gave me access to there hosting provider who is LCN.com…i tried to login to this once i received there nasty email but they were clever enough to have change there password. I guess all they needed to do was speak to someone with a bit of developer knowledge who could easily of got ftp details and access to the database….i’m really kicking myself as thinking about it this would be really easy to do…
