       1. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
       Increasing memory allocated to PHP
       define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');
   
       2. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
       If your line shows 32M try 128M:
       memory_limit = 128M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (128MB)
   
        3. If you don't have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
       php_value memory_limit 128M
   
        Talk to your host.
       ```
