WordPress Plugin: Increase Memory Limit

This plugin tries to increase the memory limit on hosts with low memory settings. It will only work if the below requirements are met. If the attempt fails, then nothing will happen and no notices or errors will happen. If the attempt to increase the memory succeeds, then your problems for memory limit should go away.

This will plugin will not help you during install, because plugins are not included and ran during the installation and upgrade process.

To Do

Right now there is no way to change the default increase to 32MB, in the future, I want to include settings that allow this. The reasons are that, most applications and blogs will work fine with the current 32MB, but some larger hosts will need more. The only way to change the setting is to change the plugin code. I think having a options page would be better.

The second part is to include a section that tests whether the plugin will even work and then disable it, if it can’t.

Requirements

  • PHP 4.2+
  • WordPress 2.0+
  • –enable-memory-limit to be used during the install. Some hosts do not allow this and future versions of this plugin will let you know if it isn’t allowed.
  • ini_set() not be in the disable_functions list.

Instructions

  1. Upload to your WordPress Plugins Folder
  2. Activate

There are no options and to uninstall, just disable the plugin.
