Fatal Error in WordPress

You may encounter the following error on your WordPress site:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) in …

This typically stems from a PHP memory limitation. Here are some solutions:

  1. Upgrade your PHP version
  2. Reduce the number of plugins you’re using
  3. Optimize your website size by:
    • Converting images to lighter formats like WebP
    • Limiting the number of pages and videos
    • Using themes and plugins optimized for performance (e.g., Elementor’s own theme for Elementor users)
    • Streamlining code wherever possible

If the error persists, consider alternative fixes or consult additional resources.

Pro tip: If your site requires more than what WordPress offers, you might want to explore other platforms better suited to handle higher performance needs. WordPress is excellent for blogs and news sites but may not be ideal for all site types.
