In my previous post I was telling you about some errors i get from my favorite Worpress plugins.

 

First thing i did was to inform Omry, the man behind Firestats statistics plugin, about the issue and i provided him with a piece from one of the errors.

 

After a little conversation he points out that the memory on my php.ini file might be the one who’s causing the problem and that the new wordpress 2.1 and the plugins might have taken all the memory.

 

He was right. That was the cause of all my problems until now.

I have heard before about working on the php.ini file but i never knew where it is located nor how to changed it and so Omry helped me with some details and that fixed my error,
I hope forever.

 

According to the details he gave me, if your web site is on a Linux server you’ll be able to find the php.ini file on /etc/php4/apache2/ on your root folder. I found mine on /etc/ folder.

 

I opened it and modified the memory_limit from 8mb to 15 mb and so i did with the file upload limit from 2 to 4 mb, mssql.textlimit and mssql.textsize .

 

The example :

Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.

post_max_size = 8M → channged to → post_max_size = 15M

 

Truth to be told, i don’t know if changing the numbers on the last 2 (mssql.textlimit and mssql.textsize) was recommended but i did it anyway.

 

The guy is the only one who provided me with this info and i did googled it but couldn’t find something to make me understand.

 

So, if you are running into errors with “memory limit exceeded ” thing , look into the php.ini file and it will probably help you.

 

Conclusion:

Firestats and Spam Karma are perfectly compatible with WP 2.1 . As for the other ones, i have to check it out.

 

Thanks Omry!
