   > 30720 bytes) in /home/ethicalr/public_html/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-upgrader.

 * 1. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
    If your
   line shows 32M try 64M: memory_limit = 128M ; Maximum amount of memory a script
   may consume (128MB)
 * 2. If you don’t have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
   
   php_value memory_limit 128M
 * 3. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
    Increasing memory allocated
   to PHP define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘128M’);
 * 4. Talk to your host.
