Hi Oxwallers,

I keep getting these email notifications, anyone know how to fix this ?

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3667 bytes) in /home/myvirgo3/public_html/ow_core/database.php on line 331

sounds like maybe not enough memory on the server to handle requests. If your on a VPS edit your php.ini file with more memory. If your on shared hosting it might be capped, meaning you or they will not change it. It could also be something calling to many requests.

Matthew +1, you need to disable one by one and see if the error persists. Also you can try to truncate ow_newsfeed_action_set table in your DB.

Hi Ross,

I went to the table and this is what i have :

MySQL returned an empty result set (i.e. zero rows). (Query took 0.0002 sec)

Alright, then the problem is different. Have you disabled plugins one by one?

Hi Ross,

I will.... i have over 50 plugins installed.....so i will make time to do so :) hope oxwall will have the option to disable or rather bulk select plugins to disable in the near future.....!!
