Error with database Backup – Memory Limit

    I’m always getting an error whole backing up the database. The hoster is IONOS.

    [11-Mar-2024 05:46:38] FEHLER: Allowed memory size of 102760448 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 8391254 bytes)

    Is this because of the memory limit of the hosting package (256)?

    Hi @fitnsexy

    I would suggest you to try increase the memory limit:

    Please try to modify wp-config.php ( you can find this file in your root directory ), and before the line:
    /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
    add this line:
    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M');

    After that, try run the job again.

    Also there is a guide on how to do that you can take a look: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/fix-wordpress-memory-exhausted-error-increase-php-memory/

    Thank you for the reply.

    I’ve already split the job into two. One for everything except wp_options, and one for wp_options alone. I also increased the memory limit to 512M. Even so, the job with only wp_options still encounters the same error.

    ERROR: Allowed memory size of 170917888 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 9525352 bytes)

    Perhaps this is a hosting issue. Unless it’s just coincidental that the other person reporting the problem is on the same host.

    My wp_options table for this site is rather large (25MB) – is that simply too big to be handled by this plugin?
