PHP is telling you that it asked the computer for 36 more megabytes and the computer said, sorry, i’ve already given you 256 and that’s all you get.
All the scripts that run in PHP, including Postman, cost you some amount of memory but that seems rather high. Might be a memory leak somewhere,
If I would install a PHP profiler, or one of those WordPress plugins that shows you how much memory each plugin is using.
After searching for more than an hour, I have not found any free tools that provide memory usage profiling. P3 seems to be the most popular profiler for wordpress, but it profiles time, not runtime memory usage. Even the paid options seemed to be focused on time as opposed to memory.
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks
I just realized that sending a 36 megabyte message should not be happening.
After poking around, I found that ithemes was setup to send the DB backup through the mail. I suspect the problem will go away now that I changed the setting to store DB backups locally.
Thanks for letting me know. Didn’t even cross my mind to think of a 36MB file attachment :p
Had the same problem. Then I switch my PHP version from 5.5 to 7.0. Problem Solved.
Thank you @mirgcire! Coincidentally, I received an automatic email regarding iThemes scan; when I read your post, it all made sense. Solution: I disabled the database back-up as the site is using a third-party plug-in for file and database back-ups.
