# Fatal Error – template.php

 * I last succesfully logged in to my blog yesterday.
 * Tried to login tonight and I’m getting:
 * > Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   > 122880 bytes) in /public_html/wp-admin/includes/template.php on line 2572
 * However on looking at line 2572 (programmers editor) I can’t see anything that
   makes any sense to me! But then I’m no programmer either.
 * I tried searching but can only find references to changing my wp-settings.php
   memory size. Did that and no difference was made either.
 * Any suggestions please?

 * Apologies if this sounds rude …
 * … but as I stated – I have already searched both google and the forum here with
   no success.

 * I’ve now fixed this.
 * Used another search engine which found a post in this forum …
 * My solution was to add
 * php_value memory_limit 32M
 * to my .htaccess file.
 * The post I found has several options you can try – your mileage may vary but 
   the post is here:

 * its not rude at all, actually. And I owe you an apology — that setting change
   should have been made inside your wp-config.php not the wp-settings.php in order
   to work.
 * My sincerest apology.
 * the .htaccess bit does exactly the same thing.
