Fundamental

Permalink
Purchased and installed Fundamental theme but when activated get the following error.

An unexpected error occurred.
Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 12488482 bytes).

I'm a newbie so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You might just need to bump up your memory_limit. Whilst system requirements say 64mb I have mine generally set at 128mb. Do you have access to your php.ini?

Thanks for the quick replay!

I don't have access to php.ini but will contact our host and request the memory to be increased.

Hope this is the fix!

Thanks for your help.

To get a quicker fix than waiting on your host you might be able to increase it in the htaccess if your host permits.

php_value memory_limit 128M

Thanks again for your help.

Had a replay from my host (Fasthosts), they cannot increase memory allocation unless I change to a virtual or dedicated server!

Tried adding .htaccess but this generated an error, assume because host will not let me alter.

May have to change host all because I liked the look of a theme for new website!

Appreciate your help, thanks.

The thing is it should be fine if your within the system requirements. I imagine installing a theme isn't the most memory intensive process compared to others. How many times have you tried to activate?

Hi Kieran,

Just to make sure it wasn't something I've done, I completed wiped our site and started again!
Made no difference and still get error.

I've spoken to our host and upgrading to a different package can give me 100mb php memory, do you think this will be enough or should a ditch and go elsewhere?

Thanks.

Hi there,

This certainly sounds like a memory limit issue. We have a guide on how to overcome this in the package controller if that helps you:
