 * I believe I followed all of the directions. I created a couple of sample custom
   post widgets and inserted them in your sidebar widget and added the shortcode
   to the page. I received the following error message:
    Fatal error: Allowed memory
   size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 42 bytes) in /home/content/
   31/7500231/html/XXX/wp-includes/post.php on line 595

 * Hello there,
 * It simply means WordPress can not allocate more space in memory(RAM) to execute
   or continue running process. So try increasing the memory allocation for PHP.
   See these relevant posts.

 * As described in the above posts, you need to manually edit the PHP file. However,
   the plugin has a setting for it. Go to Appearance -> Responsive Column Widgets-
   > General Options -> Option Management -> Attempt to Override Allocated Memory
   Size, and set enough size there. I suppose 128MB should be enough.
 * Also, you should upgrade your PHP to 5.3 or above if you are using a lesser version.
   It has better memory handling and I’ve seen many occasions that dramatically 
   decrease the memory usages.
