 * Hi,
 * when I try to add a new table or import a csv file I have the fatal error of 
   the allowed memory size exhausted. I just installed the plugin and I couldn’t
   create not even one table.
 * I cannot increase the php memory limit in the wp-config file because it’s already
   high, and I think I already reached the limit of my host. So far I never had 
   problems with any other plugin, and I guess TablePress shouldn’t be that heavy!
 * Are you aware of something else that could cause this problem?
 * Thanks
    Daniele

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * That sounds strange, and I can’t really think of a reason for that. TablePress
   is actually trying to save memory wherever it can…
 * Can you maybe post the debug information from the “About” screen of TablePress?
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi,
 * thanks for that! From what I can see, your server should allow at least a memory
   limit of `256M`, while your `WP_MEMORY_LIMIT` constant seems to be set to `192M`.
 * As a first try, could you maybe increase it to `256M`?

 * Hi,
 * I just modified the wp-config file, is there some drawback about pushing that
   limit?
 * By the way, now I successfully added a table. But still, I’m not sure this is
   normal. Plus now I am afraid I will hit the limit again.. What do you think?
 * Regards
    Daniele

 * Hi Daniele,
 * no, there’s no real drawback of increasing this limit. What it does is simply
   to allow the PHP process the memory that it sometimes needs.
 * Depending on the number and kind of activate plugins, that limit could otherwise
   be reached. If a used uses many plugins (or if the plugins have to deal with 
   a lot of content or big content), this is actually rather normal and nothing 
   to worry about. Chances that you will hit the limit again in the near future 
   are rather small.
    Remember, just because the limit is higher, this doesn’t mean
   that PHP actually needs or uses more memory.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
