Multi-Site does have more demanding memory requirements than standard WordPress. Some shared web hosts will have problems running Multi-Site installs because of the requirements.</p> <p>We were running our own sites on BlueHost without any problems with 64MB allocated. But it varies by host and Multi-Site is going to be more demanding. BUT 64MB may be sufficient.</p> <p>You may want to consider looking into hosts that have more flexibility in the amount of PHP memory that can be allocated. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-problem-in-wordpress-305#post-18562 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 02:19:03 +0000 guildmeister 18562@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for your reply Carl, those articles helped. I have bumped up the memory in both Wordpress and PHP to the max my host allows. I installed a plugin and out Wordpress was using more than the default the host had set, which was only 32MB. </p> <p>According to Wordpress the Multisite installations need 64MB, even though our hosting tech support guy was adamant that they didn't need more than 40MB. The site was using between 43 and 45MB even with no traffic and only 4 blogs. So I'm a bit worried about what the memory usage is going to go to when we go live and start getting traffic and more blogs added. Their maximum is only 64MB, which seems really limited to me given their other specs on the hosting plan we've chosen.</p> <p>Do you have any idea how much more memory Gravity is going to need when people are filling out the forms? They are allowed to upload 2 images, which is probably the most memory intensive task. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-problem-in-wordpress-305#post-18227 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 16:32:04 +0000 Carl Hancock 18227@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Try deactivating ALL other plugins and activate the default WordPress theme and then activate Gravity Forms. It does work fine with 3.0.5 and the white screen issue is typically a memory related issue. So see what it does with only Gravity Forms, WordPress and Twenty Ten active and see if it works. It could be your site requires more than 128 MB of PHP memory, which is also entirely possible. But most sites do not and we've only had a handful of users report this issue when upgrading to WP 3.0.5 and it's always been memory related. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-problem-in-wordpress-305#post-18226 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 16:22:31 +0000 Jeff Mackey 18226@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for the note back, Carl. I quick glance at the <a href="http://welcomebaptistchurch.org/phpinfo.php" rel="nofollow">http://welcomebaptistchurch.org/phpinfo.php</a> file shows the value as "memory_limit 128M"</p> <p>Would changing anything in the php.ini file help in this case? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-problem-in-wordpress-305#post-18224 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 15:46:44 +0000 Carl Hancock 18224@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Depending on your web host, simply changing the wp_memory_limit to 128M may not actually set your available PHP memory. You may need to check with your web host to see how to increase your available PHP memory. Sometimes you have to edit your PHP.ini file. It depends on your web host/server settings. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-problem-in-wordpress-305#post-18220 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 14:54:28 +0000 Jeff Mackey 18220@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am having the same "white admin screen of death" issue.</p> <p>I'm running WP 3.0.5 and started having issues when I bumped GF up to version 1.4.5.</p> <p>I tried manually upgrading to GF 1.5 and still get the white screen.

It could be a problem with your local development environment. I would suggest trying it on a web server that we would be able to access and if the issue still occurs you could then give us access to the site to debug the issue. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-problem-in-wordpress-305#post-18132 Wed, 09 Feb 2011 21:29:42 +0000 Elise 18132@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Ok, so I installed a plugin (recommended from one of your links above) to see the php usage and it's only 2% (with the theme turned off). I'm working on this locally only, not sure if that makes a difference.</p> <p>Should I now go to Studiopress?</p> <p>Thanks again,<br /> Elise </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-problem-in-wordpress-305#post-18128 Wed, 09 Feb 2011 21:07:47 +0000 Elise 18128@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yeah we'll they were working fine together yesterday so that does make sense ...
