You may run into an issue when working with your WordPress / WooCommerce website that asks you to increase the WordPress memory limit. The easiest way to accomplish this is by editing your wp-config.php file.
HOWTO: Increase WordPress Memory Limit
- Log into cPanel and use File Manager to right-click edit your wp-config.php file for appropriate website in root directory
- Find the line
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */ - Right above this line, add the code
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M'); - Select Save
An alternate method of setting the WordPress memory limit is to edit your wp-config.php file via FTP.
