 * When I start the WordFence scan I get the following error:
 * Wordfence Live Activity: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 100663296 bytes 
   exhausted (tried to allocate 262144 bytes) in /home/comknuffelsteen/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/wordfence/lib/wordfenceHash.php on line 409
 * I have increased the the maximum memory that Wordfence uses several times, every
   time wit 50 megabytes. But I keep on getting that error.
 * What can I do?

 * Hi Miranda,
    Looks like your server is running out of memory, please check the
   following: – Go to (Wordfence > Diagnostics) page and search for “WP_MEMORY_LIMIT”,“
   WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT” and let me know the values assigned to them. – Go to (Wordfence
   > Options) then scroll down the page and make sure “How much memory should Wordfence
   request when scanning” has 256 Megabytes. – Finally, you may need to try [any of these methods](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/increasing-the-wordpress-memory-limit/)
   to increase WordPress memory limit on your server.
 * Let me know how it goes,
    Thanks.
