Updating the PHP memory limit means increasing the maximum amount of RAM that a single PHP script is allowed to consume on your web server.
Updating the PHP memory limit provides enhanced stability and ensures that resource-intensive scripts, complex themes, and plugins (like Woo commerce) can execute without failing. By raising this safety cutoff ceiling, you prevent common, disruptive “Fatal error: Allowed memory size exhausted” messages and the “White Screen of Death” that occur when a single process overshoots its per-allocated RAM budget.
STEPS ON HOW TO UPDATE THE PHP MEMORY LIMIT
- Login in to your control panel using your username and password.
- Find Account manager and click on PHP settings.
- Look for the Add override section.
- Go to setting menu and select memory-limit.
- In the Value field, type your desired memory(e.g,256M or 512M).
- Click add then save.
