Title: ERROR Allowed memory size Last modified: March 28, 2022 --- # ERROR Allowed memory size * [sunvalleysystems](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sunvalleysystems/) * (@sunvalleysystems) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-allowed-memory-size-6/) * Hello, * I use the BackWPup plugin on 3 different websites. On the first and the second, it’s working very well from the beginning. Those sites are very light. * On the third, at the beginning, it was working. But now I’ve got a memory error. * `PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 704512 bytes) in /###/###/###/###/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 2056 [28-Mar- 2022 17:08:45] ERROR: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 704512 bytes)` * First I’ve searched on the Forum. So I’ve already change the value in BackWPup > Settings > Jobs to 15 seconds. * Secondly I’ve tried to split the complete backup into four different task : – on one side the file’s backup is working well ; – but on the other side the database, XML and extension backups are not working. * Thirdly, on the forum I’ve found the link to [https://woocommerce.com/document/increasing-the-wordpress-memory-limit/](https://woocommerce.com/document/increasing-the-wordpress-memory-limit/) So I’ve already add the WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT variable into the wp-config.php file. I can’t access to the php.ini file. If I change the .htaccess file all the website crash. * Moreover it seems that when I backup only the database there is also a backup of some files. * Could you help me please ? * Thank you. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-allowed-memory-size-6%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * [happyAnt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duongcuong96/) * (@duongcuong96) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-allowed-memory-size-6/#post-15511275) * [@sunvalleysystems](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sunvalleysystems/) hmm could you try increase it to at least 256MB? add WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT set to 256MB Ty * Thread Starter [sunvalleysystems](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sunvalleysystems/) * (@sunvalleysystems) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-allowed-memory-size-6/#post-15515203) * Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, I’ve already tried to add WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT variable into the wp-config.php file and set the value to 256MB and 512MB.
