Title: fatal error: allowed memory size … Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # fatal error: allowed memory size … * [arctork](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arctork/) * (@arctork) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-allowed-memory-size/) * Hi, * I am getting the following error when clicking on certain categories generated by the following code. * ERROR: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 11 bytes) in /domain/path/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1418 * AND atal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 5 bytes) in /domain/path/wp-includes/cache.php on line 11 * CODE: * Does anyone know why?

If I click other categories it works … but there are 3 specific categories where I get that error? * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-allowed-memory-size/#post-444705) * arctork, I honestly don’t know. What sorts of plugins are you running?
