# 2.7.1 memory usage question

 * ok after updating to 2.7.1 I was able to access every admin feature with the 
   exception of the plugins page. I got the following:
 * >  Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   > 7680 bytes) in Path_to_WebLog/wp-includes/kses.php(401) : runtime-created function
   > on line 1
 * So, after reading here I renamed my plugins folders and created a new one. I 
   then added and activated my plugins one by one and was fine until I got the error
   message again.
 * So I uninstalled that last plugin and all was fine. But, now I have 3 plugins
   I was using with 2.7.0 but can’t with 2.7.1.
 * I’ve contacted my host and my memory usage was increased to 64mb. I retried but
   still have the same problem.
 * Now, here’s where it really gets weird. I can install the plugin and my site 
   works ok, but I can’t access the plugins page in my admin.
 * Any ideas?

 * Did that message change when you increased the memory setting to 64mb?
 * Might be useful to list the 3 plugins that seem to be causing the problem.

 * No the message didn’t change.
 * It is not any particular plugin. I can deactivate and remove any plugin and then
   install and activate a different one and then I try to re-install the original
   or different plugin and I get the message.
 * I’ve tried various combination’s and file sizes and it’s as if it will only handle
   a certain number of plugins.

 * See this thread: changing allocation in php.ini and wp-config.php solved the 
   issue for me. Upgrade was a breeze once I did that: [](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/243700?replies=3)
