We recently ran into a ‘Fatal Error Allowed Memory Size” issue with a customer who was installing demo content for the Brooklyn WordPress theme on Media Temple and they got the following error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 103809024 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /nfs/c04/h01/mnt/59848/domains/WebsiteName.com/html/wp-content/themes/brooklyn/header.php on line 66
To solve this we had to manually install the demo and it took the following steps:
- Wipe the database
- Reinstall the demo, which failed to load in all the demo content
- Wipe the database
- Increase all known PHP constraints (memory, timeout, etc.)
- Reinstall the demo, which failed to load in all the demo content
- Delete Entire WP Install, start from scratch
- Reinstall WP
- Install Brooklyn, manually again
- Install required plugins, manually again
- Increase WP memory variables to meet theme requirements, again
- Install demo again, demo content all imported finally – slider did not import though and homepage not loading past yellow preloader, no load gif
- Look up missing sliders and download from theme package
- Upload sliders manually
- Try disabling preloader, still yellow, no load gif
- Review home page settings and content, not there
- Check other page that could be for the home page, doesn’t load either
- Check other possible home page settings, content at least, but not loading past yellow screen
