       1. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
       If your line shows 32M try 64M:
       memory_limit = 128M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (128MB)
   
       2. If you don't have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
       php_value memory_limit 128M
   
       3. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
       Increasing memory allocated to PHP
       define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');
   
       4. Talk to your host.
       ```

 * This what my host did and it worked:
 * > We put php.ini file in the following folders:
   >  /public_html/ /public_html/wp-
   > admin/ /public_html/wp-includes/
   > Inside this file, we put the memory limit parameter and changed it to 128M.
   > 
   > This should solve memory limit error for all area of your wordpress site.
 * The php.ini file contained:
 * > ;; set memory limit
   >  **memory_limit = 128M**
