 * Hi John!
 * First of all: Terrific plugin, thanks so much, it helps a lot. 🙂
 * Just a little question:
 * In the frontend the memory limit is 262.144kB ([http://snag.gy/IVgzA.jpg](http://snag.gy/IVgzA.jpg)),
   while in the dashboard is 131.072kB ([http://snag.gy/KmvwA.jpg](http://snag.gy/KmvwA.jpg))
 * Is that a bug, or WordPress really changes dynamically that value in the backend??
 * Thanks 🙂

 * Hi Joan,
 * WordPress sets the memory limit in the admin area to 256 MB by default, so you
   will see a variance if your default memory limit is something other than 256 
   MB.
 * [See here for more info](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-admin/admin.php?marks=155#L140).

 * Hi John!
 * Yeah, that was the case. Great!
 * Thanks 🙂
