EE3 – PHP memory limit error??

I’m just setting up EE3.1.36.5 for this year’s conference. The Event Espresso Requirements checker Version 0.9.1 says that our PHP memory limit is too low, it should be over 64MB. Trouble is, our PHP memory limit has been 128MB since last August. I’m going ahead with this but I’m concerned that it doesn’t seem to be reading our system correctly. Any advice?

Hi there,

It turns out the memory limit that the Event Espresso requirements plugin checks for is what’s set for the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT. There’s some advice on how to make sure WordPress has enough available memory here:

as well as here:

Well, I found we had an unclosed comment (?!) in wp-config.php which was blocking the wp_memory_limit from being set. I closed the comment and set it to 128MB (it was set to 64 but not live because of the typo), same as the PHP memory limit; I still get the same error, but also a complaint that it can’t find apache_get_module(), which seems to screw up the requirements check. I think I just go ahead with this and pray. Sigh.

Hi, the middle of the wp-config.php file is a good location to at the WP memory limit macro.

Some web hosts don’t recognize that change and if this is the case, then they’ll be able to change it from their end.

Also, one Event Espresso is running, then the requirement checks is no longer needed. That is, it isn’t required for creating events or accepting registrations.
