 * Hi
    Just wondering if you could advise on this issue we are having. When we save
   a certain table we get the following error message…
 * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   144165 bytes) in /home/?????????/public_html/wp-includes/formatting.php on line
   4622
 * Any ideas how we can over come this issue.
    Allan

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * This indicates that the server’s PHP Memory Limit has been reached during the
   request. Can you please try again after increasing the value of the `WP_MEMORY_LIMIT`
   constant to e.g. 256M in the wp-config.php file on your server, by following 
   the instructions from [http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP)?
   
   A better solution might be to check if you can switch to a more recent version
   of PHP, like PHP 5.6 or even PHP 7.0 on the server. Those require much less memory.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi Tobias
 * Thanks a million for that, had a feeling might be something along those line.
   Not sure how much can push hosting company as only recently requested an upgrade
   to 5.5 and seems they dont want to go any higher. But will certainly give it 
   a shot.
    Thanks Again Allan

 * Hi Allan,
 * remember that you are paying your host company. They should definitely be offering
   PHP 5.6 at least, if not 7.0!
 * Regards,
    Tobias
