I’ve installed WP 3.1.1 & then installed BP 1.2.8
And when I activated BP Plugin
it appears this error

“Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) in /mounted-storage/home44a/sub009/sc30520-NUCW/copticface.com/home/wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php on line 729”

Please I want to fix this problem rapidly

Try upping the memory limit if possible.

If you can’t up the memory limit, try to implement some of the improving performance tips listed here – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/improving-performance/

I am using Servage Hosting & I am a beginner in developing so please tell me how to by easy steps
Thanks in advance

Try asking your host to increase your wordpress memory limit, or do a search on that subject as there are some ways to do it yourself…

If neither of those work, and for some shared server hosts such as 1and1 they won’t, then have a look at the suggestions here and here.

Or find a host that offers more memory – which is difficult as all other shared hosting services, that I’ve found, don’t quote the memory available in their advertising….

I am having the same problem, but are you sure this isn’t a bug in the plugin? It shouldn’t need 33MB of RAM just to activate the plugin. I got the same error trying to activate Buddypress 1.2.8 on a fresh install of WordPress 3.1.1 on a high-quality host. There are a huge number of warnings that come before the memory error. Here’s the full output with debug on (I cut out another ~50 warnings on call-time pass-by-reference).

What BP version are you on? That issue has been fixed https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2759 to address deprecated notice if you’re on PHP 5.3+

== It shouldn’t need 33MB of RAM just to activate the plugin. ==
It depends on server configurations ultimately. I set up a BP install for a friend on a shared hosting plan with 32MB and it’s running well with a private community of 250+ members. Resolve the deprecated notices issues first and see if you still need to increase memory limit.

[hran]

This is 1.2.8, but your link says it was fixed in 1.2.6. Maybe there was a regression? I agree about fixing this first.

[hran]

Also I’m running PHP 5.2, not 5.3

[hran]

I increased the memory to 64mb and that did solve the problem of running out of memory. There are a vast number of notices that show up in debug mode but I’ll post a new thread about them.

@hran i have the same problem cant activate bp plugin error is Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_multisite() in /home/vuniteu/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core.php on line 287
and the memory errror comes @ the time of upgrading wp to 3.1.3
