If you run Wordpress and ever receive a message such as “Allowed memory size of xxxxxx bytes exhausted” then you’re not alone. Resolving the error isn’t a big deal though. As of v2.5 the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT option allows you to specify the maximum amount of memory that can be consumed by PHP.

This wasn’t in my config already, but simply adding it fixed the issue.

This setting increases PHP Memory only for WordPress, not other applications.

Please note, this setting may not work if your host does not allow for increasing the PHP memory limit–in that event, contact your host to increase the PHP memory limit. Also, note that many hosts set the PHP limit at 8MB.

Increase PHP Memory to 64MB
define(’WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘64M’);
Increase PHP Memory to 96MB
define(’WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘96M’);

If you’re like me, you keep your system up to date and patched. It’s good practice, but a bit annoying under Vista (at least under Ultimate Edition) because even if you’ve applied all the updates you need you’re constantly shown that you have 14 optional updates. Turns out they’re all language packs… I’m pretty sure I don’t need Chinese or Dutch language packs installed.

It turns out it’s pretty easy to hide them from view. Open Windows Update and click on View available updates. You’ll see something like this:

Notice all the languages that you’ll never have a need to use. All you have to do to hide these updates, is to right-click on an item in the list, and choose “Hide update” from the menu.

Pretty easy eh? Now when you go to Windows Update you’ll see what you expect: “No new updates available…”. If you ever want them back there’s a “Restore hidden updates” link on the left-hand side of the screen that will let you put them back in the list.
