Correção: Erro de memória esgotada do WordPress – Aumente a memória do PHP

Você vê uma mensagem de erro de tamanho de memória permitido esgotado no WordPress?

Esse é um dos erros mais comuns do WordPress, e você pode corrigi-lo facilmente aumentando o limite de memória do PHP no WordPress.

Neste artigo, mostraremos a você como corrigir o erro de memória esgotada do WordPress aumentando o limite de memória do PHP.

Fix: WordPress Memory Exhausted Error – Increase PHP Memory

O que é o erro de memória esgotada do WordPress?

O erro de memória esgotada do WordPress é uma mensagem que você pode ver se o seu site estiver com dificuldades para executar tarefas.

O WordPress foi criado usando PHP, uma linguagem de programação do lado do servidor que precisa de memória para ser executada.

Assim como qualquer outro computador, os servidores da Web têm uma quantidade limitada de memória para executar vários aplicativos ao mesmo tempo. Os provedores de hospedagem do WordPress alocam tamanhos específicos de memória para diferentes aplicativos, inclusive o PHP.

Quando o código do WordPress exigir mais memória do que a memória alocada por padrão, você verá essa mensagem de erro:

Erro fatal: Tamanho de memória permitido de 33554432 bytes esgotado (tentou alocar 2348617 bytes) em /home4/xxx/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php na linha xxx

Memory exhausted error displayed on a WordPress site

Seu site WordPress pode estar esgotando a memória do servidor, se estiver:

  • Muitas imagens, vídeos e outros tipos de mídia
  • Muitos plug-ins do WordPress não utilizados
  • Excedeu os recursos de seu plano de hospedagem

Por padrão, o WordPress tenta automaticamente aumentar o limite de memória do PHP se ele for inferior a 64 MB. No entanto, 64 MB geralmente não é suficiente.

Dito isso, vamos ver como aumentar facilmente o limite de memória do PHP no WordPress para evitar o erro de memória esgotada.

Você pode usar os links rápidos abaixo para navegar pelo tutorial:

Observação: alguns desses métodos exigem que você edite diretamente os arquivos do WordPress. Sugerimos fazer o backup de seu site primeiro para evitar que outros erros apareçam em seu site.

Opção 1: editar o arquivo wp-config.php

Primeiro, você precisa editar o arquivo wp-config.php em seu site do WordPress. Esse é um dos principais arquivos do WordPress, localizado no diretório raiz, geralmente chamado public_html.

Será necessário usar um cliente FTP como o FileZilla ou o gerenciador de arquivos no painel de controle da sua hospedagem na Web.

Em seguida, você precisa colar a seguinte linha no arquivo wp-config.php, logo antes daquela que diz: That's all, stop editing! Feliz blog.

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

Esse código informa ao WordPress para aumentar o limite de memória do PHP para 256 MB.

Para obter mais detalhes, consulte nosso guia passo a passo sobre como localizar e editar o arquivo wp-config.php.

Quando terminar, salve as alterações e carregue o arquivo wp-config.php de volta para o servidor.

Agora você pode acessar o site do WordPress, e o erro de memória esgotada deve ter desaparecido.

Opção 2: editar o arquivo .htaccess

O próximo método é editar o arquivo .htaccess. Esse arquivo também está localizado na pasta raiz do site do WordPress.

Aqui, você precisa colar o seguinte código antes da linha que diz #END WORDPRESS.

php_value memory_limit 256M

Semelhante ao código anterior, ele dirá ao WordPress para aumentar o limite de memória do PHP para 256 MB.

Depois disso, basta salvar as alterações e carregar o arquivo de volta no servidor da Web. Agora, você pode abrir o site do WordPress novamente para ver se o erro de limite de memória foi eliminado.

Se você não conseguir encontrar o arquivo .htaccess, consulte nosso guia sobre por que o arquivo .htaccess pode estar ausente e como encontrá-lo.

Opção 3: Verificar o arquivo php.ini

Se os métodos acima não funcionarem, talvez seja necessário examinar o arquivo php.ini.

O php.ini é um arquivo que controla suas configurações de PHP, incluindo a versão do PHP e os scripts PHP. Não é um arquivo central do WordPress, pois seu provedor de hospedagem geralmente o gerencia.

Você pode verificar seu código para ver o limite de uso de memória do PHP. Para obter mais detalhes, consulte nosso guia sobre como localizar e editar o arquivo php.ini.

No entanto, como esse é um método avançado, recomendamos entrar em contato com a equipe de suporte do seu provedor de hospedagem na Web para ver se eles podem aumentar o limite de memória do WordPress manualmente. Caso contrário, isso pode resultar em mais erros.

Para obter mais informações, leia nosso guia sobre como solicitar corretamente o suporte do WordPress.

Opção 4: Atualizar sua hospedagem do WordPress

Se você estiver encontrando constantemente o erro de memória esgotada, isso pode ser um sinal de que seu site ultrapassou o plano de hospedagem atual.

À medida que seu site atrai mais visitantes e adiciona mais conteúdo, ele requer mais recursos para funcionar sem problemas. A atualização para um plano com uma alocação de memória maior pode ser uma solução permanente.

Considere a possibilidade de atualizar sua hospedagem do WordPress se:

  • Você tentou as soluções anteriores e o erro persiste.
  • Seu site cresceu significativamente em termos de tráfego ou conteúdo.
  • Você planeja adicionar recursos ou funcionalidades que exigem mais recursos.

A Bluehost oferece planos de hospedagem WordPress acessíveis e confiáveis que podem ser dimensionados de acordo com as necessidades do seu site. Eles fornecem uma plataforma fácil de usar, otimizada especificamente para o WordPress, facilitando o gerenciamento do seu site.

Como evitar o esgotamento de sua memória do WordPress

Agora que você corrigiu o erro de esgotamento de memória do WordPress, aqui estão algumas etapas proativas para evitar que isso ocorra novamente:

  • Desative os plug-ins não utilizados. Muitos plug-ins contribuem para o uso da memória. Analise regularmente os plug-ins instalados e desative os que não estiver usando ativamente para liberar memória para tarefas essenciais.
  • Otimize as imagens. Imagens grandes podem consumir muita memória. Considere a possibilidade de usar um plug-in como o EWWW Image Optimizer para compactar automaticamente as imagens antes de carregá-las em seu site.
  • Use um plug-in de cache. Os plug-ins de cache armazenam os dados do site, reduzindo a necessidade de o WordPress gerá-los novamente a cada visita. Isso pode melhorar significativamente o desempenho do site e reduzir o uso da memória.

    This Worked for me.

    /**This is a test for memory*/
    define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);

    Thank you for this wonderful share.

  2. joey

    Thanks for the great and simple help! This solved my issue ! ;) Thumbs up;)

  3. Lu

    Should the memory limit ever be higher than 64M? Most WP sites i’ve worked on the average page load never exceeds 40-5megs. The reason I ask, is I read that the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT defines the amount of memory Wordpress can use per Apache thread. Which means that multiple threads will use more and more, and eventually swap to disk which is never good.

    Anybody an expert and can answer this?

  4. WPBeginner Staff

    It seems like WordPress is either unable to create wp-config.php file or the file gets deleted after the install. Use ftp to make sure that there is a wp-config.php file present on your site. If not then try creating one by renaming the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php file. You will need to manually edit the file and provide your database information.

  5. aiyeboy

    hope i wont be mocked, where do i see the config.php, is it in my phpmyadmin or where pls

      • aiyeboy

        if i locate it on an ftp, and i click on it, it brings it like a download file, pls help with a full guide on how to do it pls my site is going down everyday…

        • tony leon

          don’t double click it. Either right click and select EDIT or highlight it and look for an EDIT button somewhere (maybe at the top if it’s Godaddy). Good Luck!

  6. LJ LaValle

    I opened the wp-config.php file from my ftp directory.
    I was not sure how to completely enter the adjustment – I didn’t know basic coding for php, so I just copied the basic precursors shown for each entry and added as follows:

    /**This is a test for memory*/
    define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);

    It worked!

  7. Ali

    how about i change it to 256 m

  8. Doug

    Thank you!!! This fixed a problem I created myself and saved having to pay someone at the hosting company to update the file.

  9. kim

    I am getting this exact error but I am not sure how to get into do I get into wp-config.php which is located in the root WordPress directory as I don’t know where to find it. Yes I am a complete beginner. Can you help?

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) in /home/crooked1/public_html/wp-includes/SimplePie/Sanitize.php on line 331

  10. mike .levine

    Thank you so much!! For real.. you have been a lifesaver. I can’t tell you how appreciative I am for your help.

  11. Timothy

    Hi,

    I’ve tried to increase the limit to 64mb, and I got this warning until 5 times:

    ‘WARNING: Job restart due to inactivity for more than 5 minutes.’

    The database backup is stopped until 60s%, and the result is below when it tried to upload to Dropbox:

    ‘ERROR: Uploaded file size and local file size don’t match.’

    What’s wrong with it? I’m using Bluehost.

    Thanks!

    PS: I’m not a technical person, so give explanation in details :-)

  12. Thomas Cole

    Been having a doozy of a time working on my site and I would sacrifice a MacBook at midnight to get my site working, one little line of code and we are back up. Thanks!

  13. Domestic Herald

    THANK YOU so much!!!! This worked like a charm and took me less than a minute to implement.

  14. Jonni

    Thank you so much!!!!
    I’m in the middle of a launch and all of a sudden I couldn’t update or create any web pages on the whole site because of a 500 Internal Server Error. (And of course this happened as soon as I discovered the Home page had a big problem.)

    Could get no help from support, am not a web developer.

    Yet I was STILL able to follow your instructions and Hallelujah! Miracle of Miracles! Everything works now.

    All this work driving traffic, getting new people to the site – almost wasted due to server error – but Disaster Averted! you saved the day.

    My sincerest gratitude.

    Again, can’t thank you enough.

  15. bungkelip

    I add define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘1024M’); but its not work, help me

  16. Casey Friday

    Thanks so much! I was about to bitch to WooThemes that their $129 extension was breaking my site, but it turned out to be a memory issue. Cheers!

  17. Janelle

    Thanks a million! This is so useful, and more people should see this post.

  18. Adrian

    On line 36/37 of wordpress, wp-config.php you must type:

    /** Memory Limit */
    define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);

    For me this problem is solve thi way. You can change 64M with what value you want.

    • Adam Singer

      This comment is sooo key!

      You have to add define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’ ); just before the unique key and salts are defined, otherwise the change doesn’t take effect. Thanks!!!

      • omniafausta

        yesssss thanks, I was wondering why it didn’t work for me. It was because so far no one told me WHERE in the wp-config i had to add this line. THANKS!!!

    • Rosie Taylor

      Thank you for clarifying this step. Now I know why it never just changing the other line for the value didn’t work before. This saved me big time for a client tonight!

  19. Titel

    Hello,
    Today I had a problem with wordpress: after I logged appeared “white screen of death”. We went into cpanel and inserted “define (‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M ‘)’ in wp-config.php and everything went very well.
    Thanks a lot WPBeginner.

  20. Hamza Ahmed

    Thanks a lot, i work very hard with every method i found on internet, but i filled , my problem occur during word-press installation i pasted this code in mid and increase its value to 128 mb , now its works fine, thanks a lot again.

  21. Jeff Danforth

    My host provides 64MB, and wants a hefty kicker to increase the php memory limit – so I’m inclined to be “green” and reduce my memory use.

    HOW might I determine what plugins or other things to remove to stay under 64MB
    A) php memory consumption, e.g. which plugins are being greedy
    B) have I got a memory leak issue, e.g. any plugins being nasty

    Thank you for this forum, by the way – I am truly a beginner, but excited about WP (grrr, if I can make it jump its hoops right)

  22. Matthew

    This worked for me, thanks for the tip!

  23. Daniel

    Didn’t work for me, but I’m not sure what it means to be “inside the main php tag”. I opened the file in Dreamweaver and did a search. The word “main” doesn’t appear anywhere on the page. So I put the code in line 2, just after the “<php". Tried it at 64 and 128. Thanks.

    • Editorial Staff

      The main php tag means just insert it like you did. Sometimes this doesn’t work in which case you have to ask your host.

      Administrador

  24. Deepanshu

    Thanks for the help.
    But 64M was already default for me and of course it wasn’t sufficient so I changed it to 96M and I think u should mention this as well.

  25. Jan

    Nice but nothing works – use rackspace cloud – tried 32 – 64 – 128 – 256- 512 – 1024Mb MU site i can’t go more up and only in admin i can’t get access after a plugin from wpmudev so guess i have to delete that and try something pro.

  26. Julie Geiger

    worked perfect.. thank you for sharing, tried a few other fixes but all errored out.

  27. Nick

    Thank you for the article. It was a great help

  28. pathik

    its really work,, i had problem of internam server,,, when add new plugine,,, i just increse memomry limit
    define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);
    in wp-admin and problem solved..

    tthnaks a lot

  29. Joke van de Fliert

    thanks! for me the provider had to change a setting to increase the memory limit, but that did fix it!

  30. Jennifer Ortiz

    Thanks a million for this! I got the error message right after the Wordpress install–I never even had a chance to add a plug-in.:

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted…

    All seems to be working fine now.

  31. Timothy Jacobs

    I have tried to do this, but it has not solved the problem.  I am on 1&1 hosting and I have tried all the changes, but I still get this error whenever uploading a semi-large picture:
     
    Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 29884416) (tried to allocate 4096 bytes) in /homepages/21/d258522816/htdocs/TBJFilms/WP/wp-includes/media.php on line 1010
     
    What is your suggestion?

    • wpbeginner

       @Timothy Jacobs Contact your host. If they refuse to help, then switch.

  32. aidilgoh

    Tried placing this at the end of the wp-config.php and didnt work.

    However, placing it on top right after the <?php tag worked. Hooray!

    • Guy

      Exactly !! thanks a lot – made my day !

    • Appdunia

      Worked for me only after placing just after php tag. Thanks a lot !

    • Ahmad Zaruq Spain

      Yes, I used the
      1error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set(‘display_errors’, 1);
      2
      3define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true);I found in a post next to this one and was getting an error by using define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘128M’); on the last line of my php-config file. Thanks to this comment I placed it right below <?php tag at the top and now the error report is no longer :) I just hope my site doesn't keep crashing on every new plugin install, going to check that now. Thanks to all you geeks out there!

  33. PatrickTyrus

    this was a great help, but as you noted it could easily be a plugin, or as someone mentioned it could be a memory leak.

    And as others have pointed out, there are memory settings for a reason, some hosts will cut your services if you try to circumvent them.

    Is there a way to check on what’s eating memory?

    I’ll be searching, but this is something that should be listed under related posts, or as a note and link at the end regarding one of the “numerous solutions for it”. Going for the “simplest one” might get you through the day, but is may not be a good long term solution as it may cover up the real problem and delay the inevitable.

    • Alexis O'Neill

      Worked for me!! I changed my site language to Spanish and I guess that used up the memory. Added the simple line recommended in the post and voilá!! Back in my admin mode. The really helpful part was “Don’t panic!” because my anxiety level was rising fast.
      Thanks ever so much.

    • Kiu Karakas

      define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);
      not solved
      define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘164M’);
      solved
      THANKS

  34. wpbeginner

    @shally1584 There is no = << in our code. So are you sure that you are pasting our code as an independent function and not as part of something else.

  35. shally1584

    hi.i tried to adjust memory limit and got this error

    ‘Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’ in /home/amanerdm/public_html/beaverealty.com/wp-config.php on line 62′

    pls help fix this.thanx.

  36. Luna

    Thank you for this post… I had a couple of category / archive query pages that were throwing this error after I upgraded to WordPress 3.1. I was just about to re-write the queries until I found your post in a Google search.

    You saved me a lot of work and headaches :)

  37. Kdb

    I ended up having to switch hosting companies because I couldn’t get my current one to increase the memory from 32MB to, well, anything more. Pretty sad. Took a bit of hassle to transfer three Wordpress sites (and multiple other sites), but it was worth it. My current host offers 128MB and my sites are working SO much better. I can actually add plug-ins.

  38. Richard

    Hello
    I tried the fix by adding the line immediately after the opening >php tag (line 1)
    define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);

    It did not work for me BUT
    I placed the line with comments for my own use on (as it happens) line 22 and it worked.

    I am testing this procedure on a test WP site using Twentyten 1.2 Theme

    /home/par*****/public_html/wp-config.php

    Line 22 /** WP memory limit Note it does not work when placed immediately after line 1 */
    define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);

  39. Chris

    This trick doesn’t work for me ever since WP 3.

    what I found worked was to create a PHP.INI file in the wp-admin folder with the line:

    memory_limit = 128M

    (or whatever you want to make it)

    • Editorial Staff

      Sounds like a host issue rather than WP 3.0 issue. We still have this trick working on our clients.

      Administrador

      • Trunks

        This worked for me! Thanks!!!

        Create PHP.INI in the wp-admin folder, with the line “memory_limit = 128M;”

        I changed all the other methods, and this was the only one that seemed to work.

        • Don

          Thanks. This worked for me! Nothing else worked until I read your comment. Website host was not overly helpful.

  40. kdb

    I tried this, but my host limits it to 32 megs. Can anyone recommend a good host for WP, because I’m going to have to change. Thanks!

  41. phil

    I put that line at the very top of the file (wp-config.php) and it worked!

  42. Eyl

    I have done the trick but seems like nothing happened. The error keep showing so can you suggest other solutions?

    • Editorial Staff

      On some hosts, this trick won’t work. So you have to ask (beg) them to increase the PHP Memory Limit. OR get rid of the plugin which is causing it.

      Administrador

    Great article. A brand new plugin that may soon find its way on to this list is Cobalt WP Boost.

    Check it out here:
    http://frugaltheme.com/about/cobalt-wp-boost-plugin/

    It allows blog owners to raise their WordPress Memory Limits with a couple of mouse clicks, as well as showing at-a-glance memory usage information. WordPress keeps its internal memory limit at 32MB, which is fine for a small-time blog; but if you’re trying to add any robust plugins for social networking or ecommerce applications, 32M will not suffice. This problem can only be expected to worsen with the release of 3.0 which, judging from the beta release, will consume a lot more memory itself without upping the 32MB limit.

    • Chad McCullough

      I just downloaded the plug-in and I’ll give it a try on my test site. Thanks.

  44. W^L+

    Just remember that if the problem is a memory leak (either in PHP itself or in some library that is used by a plugin), this will merely delay the occurence.

    Before you change the memory limits, you should ensure that you’re using the most up-to-date versions of any plugins. Be sure you are running the newest version of WP. If your host offers multiple versions of PHP, be sure you’re using version 5.

    Your hosting service may have preset limits on memory usage. If your editing causes you to exceed those limits, your service may be suspended or canceled without warning.

    • Dunn

      I tried to deactivate the plugins one by one and found out that the Google XML Sitemaps plugin cause problem.

  45. wparena

    I think the better way is to put this limit in wp-setting.php file where this memory limit already described as 32M, just changed that value to 64M.

    • Chad McCullough

      Thank you, wparena. I’ll try this.

    • Chad McCullough

      Changing the settings in the wp-settings.php file fixed my 2 week, driving me crazy, issue! Thank you very much!!

      -Chad

    • Editorial Staff

      Yes, but editing the core files is not the best way. You would have to change that every time you update WordPress. The way we share in this article, will save you time.

      Administrador

      • Chad McCullough

        I would much rather not modify core files, if possible. Where would I place the line in the wp-config.php file? I’m not sure where the main php table is.

        Thanks for the article and the help!

        • Chad McCullough

          That worked. Thanks!

  46. Chad McCullough

    I think that this might fix an issue I’ve been having with my site. I just can’t figure out where the main php table is in the wp-confip.php to place the line.

    Thanks!
