WordPress for Low PHP Memory Limit

Some WordPress installs run out of available PHP memory because the memory limit is set too low.
This can cause random errors or white screens that show no error at all. This is a good troubleshooting checklist for any WordPress plugin that is acting strange.

Check the PHP Memory Limit:
Install this WordPress plugin to see the PHP Memory Limit and Memory Usage in the WordPress admin dashboard:
WP-Memory-Usage

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-memory-usage/

If the memory limit is 32M or less, try increasing it:

Memory usage is dynamic, meaning that when you are uploading images, the memory usage can easily double temporarily.

Try one of these methods for increasing the amount of memory a
PHP script may consume (most people just do #3)

1. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, edit the PHP.ini
If the memory_limit shows 32M or less, try increasing it:
memory_limit = 64M;

2. If you don’t have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file in the root directory of your site:
php_value memory_limit 64M

3. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

4. Talk to your web host about their recommended solution.

Why WordPress Upate Asks for Connection Info

One of the great features of WordPress is that it allows you to automatically install and upgrade plugins.

Connection Information

Online WordPress Backup Plugin – IDrive Online

One of the things that I often preach or emphasize on a lot here at JaypeeOnline is the importance of backups. I had an unfortunate experience a long time ago when my web host got hacked and all the files were lost. I didn’t have any backups so I basically lost two years worth of blog posts and comments. I’ve learned the hard way so nowadays, I perform a daily backup my WordPress database and make sure I have a backup of all my theme, plugin and other miscellaneous files that I use on my blog.

Aside from being a very good blogging platform or CMS (Content Management System) by itself, what makes WordPress even better is the large number of available plugins that add more features and functionality to any WordPress-powered blog. One such plugin is the IDrive for WordPress, an online WordPress backup plugin. [Read more...]

Tests Server & Hosting Configuration WP Plugin ServerBuddy

A couple months back, a faulty server configuration at Network Solutions shared hosting boxes led to many WordPress blogs getting hacked. The security flaw allowed other users on the same box to read other users’ configuration files. At first, people blamed WordPress for it but later on it was determined that it was the hosting provider’s fault because a properly configured web server shouldn’t allow users to have access to other users’ files (vice versa), regardless of the file permissions.
