Need for greater PHP memory allocation

[altommo]

Thank you for your help mate I really appreciate, the problem is in order for my site to function correctly I need greater PHP memory allocation so a paid plan is probably the best option.

If you say greater PHP memory allocation, exactly what do you mean, and by how much? Maybe if you could provide an exact example of a PHP memory issue, then it could be addressed directly by our Technical Admin.

For example, I came across this discussion of a couple of years ago. Is this also a WordPress issue with you? And exactly how has it manifested itself? Can you provide us with an example?

The specific problem is with Magento, if I change to a more complex theme with more features it requires more resources but because the limit is 128MB the site fails to load and I get an error log. In the error log it says:

The solution would be to do this
http://techpp.com/2009/07/10/how-to-fix-php-fatal-error-out-of-memory/

and edit the php.ini to increase the memory limit but the default settings would override my change as it is set to128MB by default, in terms of exactly how much of an increase I would need I am not completely sure maybe an increase to 256MB would be enough.
