Memory size fatal error trying to access Dashboard (2 posts)

    Since moving my Wordpress site (northings.com) from one server to another, I've started encountering memory size errors whenever I try to access the Dashboard:

    "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) in /home/pookapro/public_html/northings.com/wp-admin/includes/media.php on line 1212"

    All else seems okay, and the database and WP files are a straight copy from the old server, so I'm not sure why the errors all of a sudden. Any suggestions what to try?

    Many thanks
    Marcus

    Up the php_memory allocation? The readme file includes this. Looks like you have yours set to 32megs. We roll out sites with 128 megs allocated although 64megs should get you by.

    As to why you;re getting it now, the newer server probably has a lower setting than the older one.
