Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes)

Question

I\'m getting an error when I try to open one of my dashboard pages in my wordpress script

The error message is as follows:

Fatal error: Allowe

Answer 1

I changed the memory limit from .htaccess and this problem got resolved.

I was trying to scan my website from one of the antivirus plugin and there I was getting this problem. I increased memory by pasting this in my .htaccess file in Wordpress folder:

php_value memory_limit 512M

After scan was over, I removed this line to make the size as it was before.
