 * Sorry for noob question
    Running php 5.4.39
 * I need to increase memory in wp-config.php to 256m
    I see from reading the help
   files I need to add or modify: **define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256m’ );**
 * I downloaded the file but can’t find that line anywhere to modify
 * Am I supposed to add this to the wp-config.php?
    If so where in the file do I
   add it? I understand the order is critical.
 * While we are on this topic can I also increase the current time limit from 240
   to 300 in this same file?
 * Any help would be much appreciated.
 * Thank you
    Scott

 * Use a phpinfo file to see such.
