Hosting Memory Limit (WPMUDEV BETA)

One thing I have noticed, I use Elementor Pro which needs minimum of 64mb to run, by default WP install set to 40mb memory limit WPMUDEV, normally I resolve this by updating wp-config.php file within file manager or MultiPHP INI Editor within CPanel, looking around my dashboard none of these options available except PHP Admin database, therefore I would like to know is this something that's temporary unavailable due to Beta environment or will it be a permanent feature restricting access?

    Hello Steven

    The default memory limit is 512M on the site hosted on our hosting and the droplet comes with 1GB memory so you can increase it.

    To increase your memory limit you can add the following line on the wp-config.php file:

    define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '700M' );
    
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '700M' );

    Make sure you add the lines before “That’s all! Stop editing….” message.

    Let us know how it goes. Have a nice day!

    Cheers,

    Hi Ash,

    Many thanks for feedback, I do know how to update the WP-config.php, but problem I can’t even access it or gain access to it, I have done this several times on my current hosting platform, but i’m trying out WPMUDEV hosting beta platform and the only access available is the PHP Admin database, there appears to be no access to others i.e. File Manager, MySQL, PHP INI Editor etc…via the WPMUDEV hosting dashboard.

    Thanks Ryan,

    Yeah just noticed that today while playing around, yesterday missed it in account section was too fast to snoop around, now setup my SFTP user account and gone in via FileZila to update my memory in wp-config.php file.

    I like this dashboard config will prevent many user from messing up there files, pretty intuitive:slight_smile:
