Is there a way to change this limit within the wp admin area? I thought I saw it somewhere. But, now I can’t find it! 🙁 Help!
Hello,
As far as I know you can only change the setting in wp-config.php file. Please refer to this link to see how to change Memory Limit.

II) WP-Config settings
The wp-config.php file is located in the wordpress root directory.
WP Memory Limit:
This parameter sets the amount of memory used by php and by default WordPress can go up to 40MB. To avoid Memory Exhausted error this parameter should be set to at least 256MB and this can be done from WordPress wp-config.php file.
define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ );
I got access to the server and downloaded the wp-config.php file. I opened it with wordpad and did not find “WP_MEMORY_LIMIT” anywhere in the file. Am i missing something? Where exactly is it located?
Okay… I figured it out. I didn’t realize the line needed to be added to the config file. 😉
NEW PROBLEM: Does WP take long to recognize the update?
I’m still seeing: “40 MB/request – We recommend setting memory to at least 128MB. The theme is well tested with a 40MB/request limit, but if you are using multiple plugins that may not be enough. See: Increasing memory allocated to PHP. You can also check our guide here.”
