Increasing the memory limit in php

[DorothyBatts]

Hi Han,
I have a slider installed on my site that is dragging it down and even causing it to crash altogether. But I need it, and the slider designer said that I need to increase my memory limit, which is now 64MB, to 128MB. Here’s the code he gave me:

Change php.ini file to this:
memory_limit = 128M

Is that a valid point? I know something has to change, because the load speed is unacceptable the way it is. If so, can you tell me how to do that, where to find it?

My site is http://www.jettandcompany.com

Thanks,
Dorothy

add this into wp-config.php, this has to be put before /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */.

define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M' );

Note, this setting may not work if your host does not allow for increasing the PHP memory limit, please contact your hosting.

you can change the memory limit in 3 ways:

1.in your script: ini_set(‘memory_limit’, 16M);
2.in php.ini: memory_limit = 2M
3.in .htaccess: php_value memory_limit 8M;

After I changed the wp-config file, I got this message when I tried to log back into the site:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or ‘$’ in /home/content/63/7510763/html/wp-config.php on line 89

What now?
Thanks.

Disregard my last comment, han, it seems to work.
Thank you.
