Have you upgraded to WordPress 3.0 and got the following message when trying to automatically update to 3.01?<\/p>\n
I used to get that error on older versions of WordPress from time to time and resolved it by editing the wp-settings.php file. There’s a line that says define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’32M’); <\/strong> <\/em>and a quick edit to <\/strong>define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’); <\/strong><\/em>used to sort the problem out. But on a recent attempt to upgrade from 3.0 to 3.01 I got the error and found the memory allocation in the wp-settings.php file is split out as an include file on line 20<\/p>\n require( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘\/default-constants.php’ );<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n and the “default-constants.php” file, with its memory settings is in the wp-includes folder and appears to now be correctly specified at 64M. After some research I found a site that suggested increasing this to 128M, or 256M I tried both and neither worked.<\/p>\n Another site suggested changing the PHP.ini file’s memory from 32M to 64M, but I use Namecheap and I don’t have access to that file.<\/p>\n I finally found the answer that worked for me.<\/p>\n Locate the .htaccess file in the WordPress root folder and add this line:<\/p>\n php_value memory_limit 64M<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n That worked fine. I hope that helps you too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Have you upgraded to WordPress 3.0 and got the following message when trying to automatically update to 3.01?
