I installed WP, then go to plugins, add buddypress, then I get this message when I click activate:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 7680 bytes) in /home//public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/deprecated/1.6.php(258) : runtime-created function on line 1

<— not really what it said, it had my username on there for the login for my account, I censored it just for this post. the actual error message had the username properly.

So what am I doing wrong? should I delete everything and re-install wordpress/wp database/buddypress?

Hi Paul,

I got this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/manhuntt/public_html/wp-config.php on line 3

I tried both examples, all separate attempts, (not at the same time):

define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’96M’);

Both failed.

This is my first attempt to install buddypress (I have installed countless themes/plugins, bp is giving me issue. It is a huge plugin

So now I deleted everything, mysql database, wp, bp. I just started all over again.

I installed WP

What do I do next? define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’); added to the bottom of config.php (or if any other location, please tell me), or do I install buddypress first then the define memory limit thing?

Define memory limit first before activating BuddyPress. If that fails, contact webhost re memory limit issue/s. Re syntax error -> https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/fatal-error-14/
