 * My sites were working last night. This morning I get up and cannot access the
   dashboard or the site itself with 2 different errors. I don’t know which plugin
   it might be.
 * To the site of [http://hterry.com](http://hterry.com) I get:
    Fatal error: Allowed
   memory size of 262144 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 44 bytes) in /home2/
   hterry3/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 180
 * To the dashboard I get:
    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 262144 bytes exhausted(
   tried to allocate 16 bytes) in /home2/hterry3/public_html/wp-settings.php on 
   line 180
 * The other site of [http://bluesabyss.com](http://bluesabyss.com) I get:
    Fatal
   error: Allowed memory size of 262144 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 36 bytes)
   in /home2/hterry3/public_html/bluesabyss.com/wp-settings.php on line 179
 * and to the dashboard I get:
    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 262144 bytes
   exhausted (tried to allocate 101 bytes) in /home2/hterry3/public_html/bluesabyss.
   com/wp-settings.php on line 161

 * Get your host to increase your php memory limit, you can try doing it your self
   in your .htaccess file if you have one. Try adding this to the bottom of the 
   file.
    `php_value memory_limit 32M` Also please use the search function before
   posting. This has been answered multiple times. [http://wordpress.org/search/memory+exhausted?forums=1](http://wordpress.org/search/memory+exhausted?forums=1)

 * Where would I put that in my .htaccess file? I have access to it and exactly 
   how do I write it?
