How do I fix a PHP memory exhausted error?

A message like "Allowed memory size of X bytes exhausted" means a script tried to use more memory than the PHP limit allows. It often appears as a blank page or a 500 error, especially on media-heavy WordPress sites or during imports.

Raise the PHP memory limit:

1. In the DirhamHost panel at my.dirhamaday.ae, open the MultiPHP INI Editor, select your domain, and increase memory_limit (for example to 256M).
2. WordPress: you can also add define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M'); to wp-config.php.

But also find why it ran out, since simply raising the limit forever can hide a real problem:

• A poorly coded or heavy plugin consuming memory; deactivate plugins one by one to find it.
• A large import, backup or image operation; do these in smaller batches.
• An outdated PHP version; a current version is more efficient.

If your site legitimately needs more memory than your plan provides, or usage stays high, contact our 24/7 UAE team on WhatsApp +971 58 553 6767 or support@dirhamaday.ae. We can review resource usage (DirhamGuard) and advise whether a plan upgrade is the right move.
