[Resolved] PHP memory error

    I have just installed buddypress from the plugin directory – directly from wordpress plugins. I went through the wizard, and ran into this problem where I can’t now open my multisite wordpress site.
    I get this message when I want to go to the admin:
    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) in /home/spiritco/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/admin/bp-core-admin.php on line 177
    I can’t seem to get access to any of it and all my sites have changed to buddypress look with some of them not being accessible at all.
    Is there a way I can fix this at all?
    I only wanted buddypress on one of the sites, not all of them.
    Thanks – urgent please..

    Did you try googling the error message?

    Thanks Paul, however I can’t get access to my wordpress admin – how am I going to make any changes?
    Also, yes I tried googling the whole error message, google can’t find it though.
    I just want to know how to get to my admin wordpress main admin so I can get rid of buddypress and perhaps start again.
    Without having to delete everything and start again!

    I also had the memory settings set at 100mb. I also deactivated and deleted some of the plugins that I was not using. If anyone can give me a helpful hint with this, it would be gratefully accepted. :)

    Paul’s suggestion to fix this doesn’t require any wp-admin access — just FTP and an editor.

    Try working through it. If that fails try removing BuddyPress from your plugins folder (again that just needs FTP access).

    And, of course, Googling the whole error is likely to return nothing — your error message has your account name in it, and a number of bytes exhausted that’s specific to your case — try simply googling the relevant portion: “fatal error: allowed memory size”

    Finally, if you really want help on this forum, you need to help yourself a little –try giving your thread a meaningful title, so visitors will know the help you’re looking for.

    Thank You from the bottom of my heart Roger. You are the voice of common sense to something I could not see for all the trees in the road.
    I removed buddypress and other bp plugins from the plugin directory, then removed the bp theme.
    Voila! I now have access again.
    I have been trying to calm down over the last few days and had awful visions of me having to start all my multisites all over again.
    Re the meaningful title, I do agree and so apologise. I was so traumatised I could not think of anything else.
    Thank you! THANK YOU. :)))
