WordPress 3.0 Memory Issues

You’ve got all excited about upgrading your website to the new version of WP and then … bummer. After login you get some memory related error message.
That sucks, it was supposed to be a smooth transition, you did everything they told you to do.
Let’s see if this one will do it:

First, you’ll need to edit/add some setting in order to allocate more memory to your instance. It looks like due to the large number of plugins, 32MB of RAM is not enough. To check the actual memory usage, here’s a nice trick: in your website root folder create a php file and name it so you can remember it easily afterwards. Let’s call it info.php. The code inside the body tag should look like this:
Next, log out
Then rename the “plugins” folder and than create an empty one instead
Login back and go to the plugins page. Delete the folder you just created and the rename back the plugins folder; it should display all of them as inactive.

That’s it. Good luck!

Hi guys,
I just encountered this issue after installing WordPress on one of my clients’ shared hosting (1and1).
I personally like 1and1′s control panel and actually this is almost the only problem I have with them.
But it looks that they got a bit greedy with their resources and would offer you by default just a bit of memory to use.
Luckily there’s a solution for that. It looks like if you create a text file named php.ini in the directory “/wp-admin/” within your WordPress installation,
you’ll convince your php instance to use more memory.
Oh, inside the file just enter “memory=20MB” and then upload it. Good luck!
