Thanks for info so far I don’t know if you guys are still listening
I’m a bit of a WP beginner so forgive me if I say something silly.
I read lots of threads and I tried everything I saw to fix this problem. Changes to wp-config, wp-settings didn’t seem to help. Any changes I made to the htaccess file I get a “Internal Server Error” so I changed it right back again.
what worked for me
1) created a new php.ini in wp-admin include a line
memory_limit = 256M
(I couldn’t find a php.min on my server)
2) changed the default-constants.php file in wp-includes to set the memory limit to 128M
songdogtech- you said “Don’t change default-constants.php”. As this is the only thing that worked I wonder if you could explain why I shouldn’t do this?
Thanks so much! this fixed it for me too. Brilliant.
