Background of the issue:
In the WP configuration, it is specified that my WP memory should be at least 128 MB. I contacted my hosting provider, but they said that they can only do something on the Max value, which is already at the highest possible level: WP_MEMORY_LIMIT 40M WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT 2048M. I read your link: https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/wordpress/wp-config/#increasing-memory-allocated-to-php how to increase the memory, but honestly, I didn't understand anything as I'm not an expert.

Symptoms:
I am unable to increase the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT to the required 128 MB as per WP configuration.

Questions:
How can you help me increase the WP memory?
Do you have a step-by-step process for dummies to share?

Hi there,

If your max value is set to WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT 2048M that is quite a lot of power 🙂

Try this:

Login to your CPANEL

Navigate to "FILE MANAGER" and access it

In the file manager find a file called wp-config.php and open it.

Add this line of code

define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '250M' );

NOTE: Do a quick scan through the file and see if that line already exists, if it does change the numeric value.

I also found a quick YT video online showcasing these steps:

Let us know your results, please.

Hi Bobby,
I sent a copy of your message to my hosting provider, who made the change. Thanks
Best regards
