How to Increase PHP Memory Limit
To increase the PHP memory limit, you need to manually set a new memory limit for your server. This involves editing the wp-config.php file located in the server.
You can use two methods to access the WordPress files in your server. You can either use the File Manager in CPanel or use an FTP client app. For the demonstration, we’ll show you how to do it using the File Manager.
Step 1: Login to your CPanel by typing /cpanel at the end of your domain name (eg: yourwebsite.com/cpanel) use the login details you received from your web host in the welcome email to login to CPanel.
Step 2: Open the File Manager and locate the Public.html folder
Step 3: Find the wp-config.php file then right-click and choose Edit.
Step 4: Search for the line that says “That’s all, stop editing and paste the following code right above it.
define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ );
This sets your default PHP memory limit to 256MB.
Step 5: Click Save to save the changes. Go back to your website and reload to see if it fixes the error.
