Thank you! I had been having this problem, but adding
@ini_set(‘memory_limit’,'64M’);
to the wp-config.php file solved it immediately. An easy fix to a frustrating problem.

Thanks so much! I added that line of code to my wp_config.php file and my “out of memory” error disappeared as well. I was getting the error on my WP Dashboard as well as while trying to upgrade some (not all) plugins. Now it all seems to be working as it should.

Thank you so much! What a quick and easy fix for the ‘code impaired’. My dashboard loads perfectly now.

@Leslie Wong: Try one of the solutions in the comments above ^ If not youll have to wait for the next version of wordpress (8.1) because I think they fixed it.

I am experiencing a similar out of memory php error with Wordpress 2.8 when I use Arne Brachhold’s Google XML Sitemaps plugin.

I am using shared Godaddy hosting, have added the line “memory_limit = 64M” in my php5.ini file and tried your fix and I still get the error.

If I disable all my active plugins except Google XML Sitemaps, I don’t get the error when rebuilding the sitemap.

I did not have this problem with Wordpress 2.7.1.

@oceangray: That solution looks good too, I never knew about that one.

I was planing to update to Wordpress 2.8, but recently few of my clients reported lots of problems like
Internal server Error
Broken Permalinks and broken theme issue..
So for now
I will wait for some more reviews and issues before I will upgrade my blog to wordpress 2.8

After upgradind to WP 2.8, according to the plugin wp-memory-usage, i was using 95% of the memory.

I applied your fix and I use now 50 % of the memory. I can now reactivate all my plugins.

Thank for this fix.
