Plugin Crashes Site During Setup

    During the first-time setup where it asks to do a backup (I set local only), it errors out, says to check the database options, and sends me to a 404 page on my site.

    After working through all the settings, I get to the database section, see that it’s all good, then tick on auto-backup for 3 days. Clicking ‘Save Changes’ yields: “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 128 bytes) in /<<site path>>/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1978” on the white screen.

    Came back in again, auto-backup was ticked (so it did get saved) and this time when I click ‘Save Changes’ it seems to work. Site is NOT down, but thought you should know what happened.

    Addition to the above – I am getting the site crash randomly; this time just clicking on the Dashboard tab I get: “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72 bytes) in /<<site path>>/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1978” and the white screen of death.

    Actually, it is becoming nearly impossible to navigate through the plugin screens. I am frequently getting the alloc exhaustion, then it takes two attempts to get back to the WP dashboard. The first attempt gives me a 404 page, the second attempt gets me back online.

    I am using the latest DIVI theme from Elegant Themes.

    Yep… I have a site that uses Ithemes security and yes, I’m getting the very same error.

    The error is intermittent which is a real PITA. If I find a solution I will reply.
