The plugin is trying to use more resources than the server will allow. You could try renaming the plugin's folder on the server so that Wordpress can't load it. That will at least get him back into his admin area.

As for fixing the plugin, is it actively being developed? It's starred out above.

a search on google said to add a memory line to the wp-login.php file, which i did

he can log in again

site is loading really slowly, but atleast he is in again ...

Was it a PHP ini configuration line?

Paul11 · 24 Nov 2014 at 16:48

no. that was one option i read about to edit the ini file

this was a increase memory line in the php file

Interesting, do you have a link to the solution you used please? Purely for my own intrigue, no bother if not.

no problem at all:

adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

or

2. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
If your line shows 32M try 64M:
memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (64MB)

3. If you don't have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
php_value memory_limit 64M

Interesting, thanks. Still unsure if that overrides the server limit, I'd be surprised if it can. But always good to know about application settings.

it would be amazingly sloppy if any hosting provider let you set your own limits. but maybe they allow higher limits than what they set as the default hoping that most people won't ever need to change it. the obvious thing to do is check their terms or contact support.
