 * Try increasing the memory for PHP and WordPress by putting this line in your .
   htaccess file:
 * `php_value memory_limit 64M`
 * or this line near the top of your wp-config.php file:
 * `define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');`
 * or in your php.ini, if you have access to it:
 * `memory_limit = 64M;`
