 * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   12 bytes) in /…/wp-admin/admin-functions.php on line 1636
 * My website is [http://www.savagemethods.com](http://www.savagemethods.com). I
   got the above error all of a sudden when I went to the plugin management page.
   I am running a ton of plugins and didnt have a single problem until now. The 
   only thing I did recently was add the adsense plugin and get the ads up and running
   on my site. I am new to PHP and do not know how to find the error on line 1636.
   Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

 * I’d say your PHP process is running out of memory. By default, it is 8MB. You
   probably want to either increase that or disable some plugins.

 * Thanks for the reply. I ended up deleting the adsense manager plugin via ftp 
   and then manually inserting the code for the ads from google. Problem fixed.

 * I’m getting the same error even though I haven’t got any plugins running. How
   can I increase my “PHP process” ?

 * lyfdk – you want to have the max mem property for PHP increased.
    If you run 
   your own server, you’d see that in your php.ini. If you don’t run your own server,
   you could contact your host and see if they’ll raise it for you. I believe you
   can also do it via a line in your .htaccess file.
