I just set installed Wordpress (3.5.2) today on a free hosting side, 000webhost.com, with my own domain name (registered with Namecheap.) Everything was fine for a bit. Only 2 other people know the URL, and the only plugin I have is the contact form plugin.
Started adding some new pages (maybe 7 pages at the most), tweaking little things, refreshing pages... and things were still fine. Then I uploaded a background image, looked at it a few times, then uploaded and tried another background image, then another...now I'm getting an error message when I try to load the site:
"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 491520 bytes) in /home/a8395572/public_html/wp-includes/script-loader.php on line 248"
(I cannot access the Wordpress admin panel.) I thought this might somehow be related to the background images I'd just uploaded, so I used FTP to delete the jpegs. Same problem.
I'm seeing posts that this is caused by reaching a php memory limit and various ways to increase that. My question, though:
a) what sort of thing causes this? I don't think it could be a plugin because I only have one plugin. Does it relate to how many pageviews have happened? Could it be because I kept editing and reloading pages? Could it have to do with uploading the background image files?
b) Is this memory limit something that will generally get reset at a certain point by the web hosting site? How does it work...it is like X MB per hour? X MB total? Is this memory more like RAM or like hard drive space?
I'll try the fixes I've found via google, but I want to understand what's going on better...
