# [Plugin: Slickr Flickr] "Allowed memory size" Error

 * Using your Plug-in ( great plug-in, BTW) as a way to display portfolio archive
   thumbnails from Flickr.
 * [http://www.quesinberry.com/wordpress/what](http://www.quesinberry.com/wordpress/what)
 * A couple of issues. It’s displaying on every page but one (scroll to the bottom).
   After upgrade I cant get Lightbox to function.
 * And this page the thumbs are not displaying:
 * **[http://www.quesinberry.com/wordpress/what/restaurants/](http://www.quesinberry.com/wordpress/what/restaurants/)**
 * The page links to a Flickr category that has the most images to display.
 * It’s giving me a rather strange error:
 * > “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   > 23302 bytes) in /data/12/1/27/97/1190097/user/1267670/htdocs/wordpress/wp-includes/
   > functions.php on line 1038”
 * It could be there is abetter way to configure the plug-in to achieve what I’m
   attempting. Especially with the Lightbox error. But the memory error stumps me.
   I’ve cleared caches and all the usual trouble shooting. I checked out the functions.
   php file and can’t seem to find anything odd there. What do you think?
 * Thanks in advance for any help.

 * **Heads up:**
 * I JUST disabled the faulty archive post on the page I linked to above as I have
   a new client reviewing some work and I don’t want them to see the error.
 * BTW the Lightbox error is happening only in Chrome (on the Mac) and I’m using
   a Slimbox2 Lightbox custom installation.

 * Hi Todd,
 * The Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 is a PHP error. The page is 
   question has tried to surpass the default limit of 32Meg.
 * To fix this add the following line to your wp-config.php
 * define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);
 * The more photos you ask for on a page, the greater amount of memory is required.
 * Regards
    Russell

 * The Slimbox issue might be down to installing 2 versions of jQuery –
 * Your page has
 * <script type=”text/javascript” src=”[http://www.quesinberry.com/wordpress/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.6.1″></script&gt](http://www.quesinberry.com/wordpress/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.6.1″></script&gt);
 * and
 * <script type=”text/javascript” src=”[https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.3/jquery.min.js”></script&gt](https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.3/jquery.min.js”></script&gt);
 * My suggestion to just to install jQuery once and use the later version

 * Hello, I’m having the same problem, however, adjusting the memory limit to 64MB
   doesn’t seem to be working. I’m using the Lightbox Plus plugin also. It was working
   fine until today. [http://chiapasproject.com/wordpress/delegations-2/2006-2/photos-2/](http://chiapasproject.com/wordpress/delegations-2/2006-2/photos-2/)
 * Thanks very much. This is has been a very helpful plugin.

 * [@rjsakai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rjsakai/), there also may be a
   limit in the PHP settings of 32M – this is likely defined in the php.ini – you
   may be able to change this yourself or if not ask your host to do this.
 * The PHP memory_limit issues is discussed [here](http://drupal.org/node/207036)
 * Although this post in relating to Drupal and not WordPress, it is the same underlying
   PHP issue under scrutiny
