This could be a "memory" related issue though I'm not certain.
Try the suggestions on this help page...
[URL=http://manual.b2evolution.net/FAQ_:_After_Installation#When_I_do_xyz_I_just_get_a_blank_page_or_only_a_half_page]Errors etc[/URL]

John, "allowed memory ... exhausted" sure is a memory related issue.. :)

I checked line 228 on the _set_plugins.form.php

and there is nothing on that line it is blank. There is nothing about memory size

There is also a _set_plugins_editsettings.form.php
should I be doing something there?

When i checked the link john sent me it didnt specifically have this problem it suggested changing the memory size of PHP.INI but I cant find this file.
Is it a file on my webspace that is automatically there when my provider sets up my account? Or is it a file in the blog package?

Another option at john's link is to change the memory setting on
_basic_config.php

but there is hardly any code on that page at all, mostly blue writing or suggestions and instructions I cant see any field about memory.

HELP AGAIN PLS!

Is it a file on my webspace that is automatically there when my provider sets up my account?

Usually, yes.

Hmmmm Ive installed b2 before and never had this problem okay well I will try and change it myself and if I cant I will send a support ticket to my company to ask them to do it for me...

Thanks :)

Meanwhile I CAN STILL BLOG

ren.design,
1. the error is on line 197 - not 228. But it does not matter really.
2. you can use ini_set() everywhere (if it's not disabled). I've fixed the manual/wiki page though: the example code for this is in blogs/conf/_advanced_config.php.

I may sound like I know what Im doing but I dont. PHP is a foreign language for me. I dont understand what you mean by...

2. you can use ini_set() everywhere (if it's not disabled). I've fixed the manual/wiki page though: the example code for this is in blogs/conf/_advanced_config.php.

can you explain this in laymans terms and be literal.. 'use' doesnt tell me what I need to do.

Thankyou

PS My webspace provider is slow in providing help as suspected...no response within 24 hours.

1. Open blogs/conf/_advanced_config.php.
2. Search for memory_limit
3. Uncomment/Edit the line with "ini_set" in it as necessary.
4. Uncommenting means removing the comment tokens ("//" if I remember correctly) in front of it.

So, that it looks like
ini_set( 'memory_limit', '32M' );
or similar. Just like seen in the wiki/manual.

Thankyou I will try that and Ill let you know what happens some time this weekend..

B2 is definately the best of the blogs!

Theres no file in conf with that name ONLY basic config and

advanced.php... NO ADVANCED.CONFIG.PHP

Sorry to burst the bubble...what now?

It's advanced.php. But no worries, in this case it's not about the filename. The line you seek can be places everywhere, if it's placed before the ' error' occurs.

Good luck

On the advanced page there are lines in blue and black...blue are normal comments in English

The black ones are PHP...I looked at every single line and there is nothing like what has been described to me

I'm afraid this is going nowhere. Im starting to feel very frustrated.
