Wp And Nextgen Plug-in

[Russ]

I am playing around with Wordpress and I am trying to set up a plug in called NextGen- it is a plug in for a photo gallery. I have it installed and activated, and I have uploaded photos. The photos can be viewed.

 

The problem is this: the plug-in will create thumbnails, but when I attempt this I get this error message:

 

 

Error : Exceed Memory limit. Require : 42.13 MByte

 

Searching the WP forums, it seems that this is a function of a memory limitation on my domain (for example).

 

Anyone have any idea what this means, and if there is a work around (for example, a way to raise memory limitation), other than reducing size of image file (that has been suggested on the wp forum)?

Try adding this to your htaccess file and see if it works:

>php_value memory_limit 48M

Thanks...which htaccess file ....the one in my root?

[TCH-Thomas]

It should be in the same folder as you have your wp installation, so if you have wp in your root/public_html, yes.

Thanks...which htaccess file ....the one in my root?

The same folder containing the wp-config.php file.

Depending on your server setup you may need to open a ticket for this change.

 

Alternatively you can try one of the following:

 

-If the issue is with NextGEN then uncomment(remove //) the line @ini_set('memory_limit', '128M'); in /plugins/nextgen-gallery/lib/gd.thumbnail.inc.php

 

-If the issue is WordPress in general then add the line @ini_set('memory_limit', '64M'); to wp-config.php right after <?php

(adjust amount as needed)
