# How to increase the WordPress memory limit

1\. Edit your wp-config.php file and enter something like:

```
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
```

WordPress memory can be different to the server – you need to set this regardless of server memory settings

2\. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini \
If your line shows 32M try 256M:

```
memory_limit = 256M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (256MB)
```

3\. If you don’t have access to PHP.ini try adding this to the .htaccess file:

```
php_value memory_limit 256M
```

4\. If none of the above works then talk to your host.
