Now Using Wordpress 2.1.2
Posted on 03/03 at 12:13 PM
I took this evening to update the engine that my website is built upon to the 2.1.2 release of Wordpress.
I ran into an odd problems along the way, a situation where all the site seemed to work fine except that I was unable to load the “Manage” (/wp-admin/edit.php) posts page. All that would come up was a white page. After some investigation, I found a post where at least one other person had experienced the same problem.
Multiple Attempts, Upgrade Failure - Page Cannot Be Displayed
And The fix? Increase the maximum memory allowed to each PHP page. Or more specifically, throw this into your site’s .htaccess file.
php_value memory_limit “24M”
I guess this new version of Wordpress is a memory hog. My host only allows 8 Megabytes of memory for each page but thats pretty standard on shared servers I think. I’m surprised I was only able to find one other person experiencing the issue.
The rest of the migration went well, my custom and “unfinished” theme still works so I’m happy.
