 * Hi edangond,
 * Sorry that you ran into issues here!
 * What do you mean, precisely, when you say “WordPress breaks?”
 * Are you seeing a 500 Error from the server?
 * Are you on shared hosting?
 * Have you tried a conflict test? Here is an article about how to test for theme
   and plugin conflicts with Business Directory, which may help pinpoint the issue:

 * Thanks for your reply. It turns out that it was my fault. WordPress ran out of
   memory when I activated the plugin, so I needed to increase the memory for PHP
   applications. You guys may want to recommend checking the memory available for
   PHP before the plugin is activated.
 * Thanks again for getting back to me on this.

 * Hi edangond,
 * Thanks for letting us know.
 * FYI about the PHP memory limit–there’s no API available to us that allows someone
   to determine that before making calls. It’s a bummer to everyone as a result,
   when that happens. The fix is just as you mentioned above. Sorry for the hassle
   on that.
