Hi,
“Allowed memory size of XXXX bytes exhausted” is not uncommon in WordPress, it means the server has hit the PHP memory_limit and could not complete executing the code.
But it’s odd that it’s on a brand new install with default theme and no other plugins, the server must be set to a really low limit. Which hosting provider are you using? And do you perhaps know what’s the PHP memory_limit set to?
In any case, the solution is increasing the PHP memory_limit, some hosting providers have that option in the control panel ( if you can alter php.ini ) and if not then you need to contact the hosting provider about increasing it.
It happened a few times in these past 2 years and it was always solved, either the user changing the limit himself or by contacting the hosting provider.
But I don’t think it was ever on a brand new install with default theme and no other plugins, is it perhaps a free or cheap hosting?

Thanks for the reply.
It is a dedicated box with only about a dozen sites on it.
It is currently set to 32M which has not been a problem before. I will try increasing it to see if that fixes the problem.
Doubled it to 64 and that fixed the problem.
Thanks for the help

Happy to hear it’s sorted out.
