Title: Fatal Error Memory Allocation etc. Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Fatal Error Memory Allocation etc. * Resolved [J3551C4](https://wordpress.org/support/users/j3551c4/) * (@j3551c4) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-memory-allocation-etc/) * Hello. * After spending many hours researching this, I know that others have had the same issue. I am submitting a new ticket, because the information I have to provide about my experience with this is fairly long, and maybe, JUST maybe, there will be some information in what I am about to submit, that will shed some light on this. * My errors started appearing months ago. After trying the basic solutions that were provided in these forums – increasing memory, going through each plugin ( deactivating, activating etc), and doing 3 clean installs…my errors are still there. * Since I have another self hosted blog using the wordpress platform, with the same theme as the blog referenced above, with exactly the same plugins, plus about 5 or 6 more, and not getting one error message there, I figured I would contact my hosting service. After 3 days of emailing back and forth with me, all they could tell me was – contact wordpress support. * So here I am. * This exchange can be found at the link below: * [http://www.j3551c4.com/blog/20100216/support-conversation/](http://www.j3551c4.com/blog/20100216/support-conversation/) * Very boring read lol * I am going to attempt another clean install if I don’t get any new leads from posting here, but given the fact that I have done this 3 times already, I don’t have much faith that it will solve anything. * I am completely stumped at the fact that one website runs perfectly (and of course its the website with way more content, images, traffic) and the other seems to be slowly walking itself to blog suicide. * Any help/insight would be most appreciated. * Thanks in advance. * -Jessica Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 20 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-memory-allocation-etc/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-memory-allocation-etc/page/2/?output_format=md) * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-memory-allocation-etc/#post-1389718) * Please confirm that you have since changed your username and password on the problematic blog.
