“Allowed memory size of 138412032 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes)”
ive got this error on WordPress Admin site – what thats mean???

Answer 1

It‘s a PHP memory issue covered in the WordPress documentation.

Here is a discussion of the same on the WordPress Support Forum.

Basically, WP is using too much memory. You can adjust the amount of memory for specifically WP within the wp-config.php file using, for example,:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '96M');

To set the limit to 96MB.

From the manual:

Please note, this setting may not work if your host does not allow for increasing the PHP memory limit–in that event, contact your host to increase the PHP memory limit. Also, note that many hosts set the PHP limit at 8MB.
