How to Change WP Memory Limit with JetHost Total Care

Some WordPress errors trace back to one simple issue – the WordPress site doesn’t have enough memory to complete a task. Instead of editing code or digging into config files, you can use the JetHost Total Care memory limit setting to change that directly from your dashboard. This tutorial shows you what the memory limit is, when to increase it, and how to make the change in a few seconds with JetHost Total Care WordPress plugin.

Why You Might Want to Increase the Memory Limit

WordPress uses PHP memory to run themes, plugins, and admin tasks. When the memory limit is too low, your site may start showing errors or white screens, especially during plugin updates, media uploads, or theme changes.

Increasing the memory limit helps you:

  • Avoid “Allowed memory size exhausted” errors
  • Load larger media files without interruptions
  • Prevent crashes during editing or updates

JetHost Total Care gives you a simple field to set a higher memory value – no code, no FTP access.

What Is the WordPress Memory Limit?

The memory limit is the maximum amount of server memory WordPress is allowed to use for a single process. WordPress sets a default, but that might not be enough for sites with complex plugins or active admin work.

Raising the limit lets WordPress handle heavier operations without running out of resources.

How to Adjust the Memory Limit with JetHost Total Care

To control autosave using JetHost Total Care:

1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
2. Open the JetHost Total Care section from the sidebar.
3. In the main tab Enhancements, look for the setting labeled Memory Limit.
4. Select a higher number if needed.

What Happens After You Change It

Once you update the value, WordPress will use the new memory limit for admin tasks and plugin operations. If your server allows the amount you entered, the change will take effect right away. If it’s too high for your current hosting plan, you might still see memory errors. In that case, try a slightly lower number or check with your hosting provider.

JetHost Experts Tip

Set 512MB if you’re using page builders, ecommerce plugins, or upload large files. It’s often enough for most sites without overloading your server.
