 * Good Afternoon,
 * Every since I upgraded our production wordpress to 4.9.7 we’ve been getting this
   error what seems to be randomly.
 * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 2097152000 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   17179869292 bytes) in E:\Apache2\htdocs\nwgvcop\wp-includes\functions.php on 
   line 5231
 * Everything works correctly on the test site, but we are getting this error on
   the production site. Do you have any suggestions?

 * How do users who have downgraded, prevent WP from auto updating to 4.9.7 Steve?
