The solution is to:
- Add the line “memory=20MB” (without quotes) to the php.ini file. The php.ini should be under html/ or html/wp-admin directory. If you cannot locate the file, SSH into the hosting server and type the commond: “find . -name php.ini” (no quotes).
- Disable PHP FastCGI by updating the default action for file extensions. If you are using GoDaddy, log on to the Hosting Control Center, then click on Settings -> File Extensions. From there, update the .php4, .php5, and .php to run without FastCGI.
