As you know your website requires a certain amount of memory in order to store all of it’s data. And
memory is provided by your hosting server or your dedicated server hosting in Pakistan. Many first-time
owners start with a basic shared hosting plan which is not a problem. But there are increased chances
that your allocated memory will be on the low side. With time your website will grow and you will start
using complex plugins and scripts which can result in memory limit.

How to increase memory limit for WordPress

First login to your website using FTP and navigate to your wp-config.php file. Now edit this file with the
text editor of your choice and add the following line of code: define (‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, “25 6M’);

You have to be sure that the line of code doesn’t already exist in your wp-config.php, or of even, it does
then just update it with higher value such as ‘256 M’. ‘M’ here refers to megabytes that WordPress is
allowed to use. If you want to further increase, this is in intervals such as 256, 512, 1024 or 2048 and so
