You have just installed Wordpress on your Self-Hosted Domain and added 4-5 Plugin and Themes and tried to add next Plugin and got an Error that look like this one: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of ***** bytes exhausted (tried to allocate some bytes ) in Xyz/ABC Directory, What to do?
This Error mainly caused due to limited PHP Memory allocated for Scripts on your Shared Hosting , which can be increased by editing PHP.ini file, but it will increase PHP Memory for all Scripts present on your Host .
There is also another way to solve this error and considered safe and Easier way by Editing the wp-config.php File,
Note : This Setting will not work if your Host restrict or does not allow for increasing the PHP Memory Limit

- Open the Wp-config.php and this Code before this " /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ "
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');
Note : If your Server already set this limit to 64 MB you can try increasing it to 96 MBdefine('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '96M'); - Save the File and Upload it back to your Web-Host replacing the old wp-config.php
