Title: PHP Memory Limit – wrong value in WP-Stats? Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # PHP Memory Limit – wrong value in WP-Stats? * Resolved [haemse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/haemse/) * (@haemse) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-memory-limit-wrong-value-in-wp-stats/) * Hi, * in my PHP.ini my memory_limit is set to 512 while on the optimization page of wp-statistics settings it says: * PHP Memory Limit: 256M The memory limit a script is allowed to consume, set in php.ini. * Where does it take this value from? Is this a bug? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-statistics/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-statistics/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 20 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-memory-limit-wrong-value-in-wp-stats/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-memory-limit-wrong-value-in-wp-stats/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Contributor [Greg Ross](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gregross/) * (@gregross) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-memory-limit-wrong-value-in-wp-stats/#post-6698340) * We use PHP’s ini_get() function to retrieve this value.

I wonder if another plugin is messing with the value for some reason. Two things you might want to try: * 1. Temporarily disable your other plugins 2. Grab [http://thisismyurl.com/downloads/wordpress-phpinfo/](http://thisismyurl.com/downloads/wordpress-phpinfo/) and see what php_info() reports from within WordPress. * Dynamic loading is none of those things 😉 It’s slower (multiple connections back to the servers), harder (lots of javascript and server side code to support it) and messier (a whole new layer of code to go wrong). * [chupo_cro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chupo_cro/) * (@chupo_cro) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-memory-limit-wrong-value-in-wp-stats/#post-6698654) * Same here. From **phpinfo()**: * `memory_limit 128M 128M` * Reported **by WP-Stats**: * `PHP Memory Limit: 256M` * The server is mine, fresh WP install, no cache-ing, no interference with other plugins. * Plugin Contributor [Greg Ross](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gregross/) * (@gregross) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-memory-limit-wrong-value-in-wp-stats/#post-6698655) * We pull the value through PHP, so if it’s being reported incorrectly we have no control over it.
