Memory Limit Manager makes it incredibly easy to configure your memory limits without manually editing wp-config.php. With a beautiful, user-friendly interface and powerful features, you can increase memory limits with a single click.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>One-Click Updates – Change memory limits with a single button click</li>
<li>Quick Presets – Common configurations (128M/256M, 256M/512M, 512M/1G, 1G/2G)</li>
<li>Automatic wp-config.php Backups – Creates timestamped backups of your wp-config.php file before any changes (format: wp-config.php.backup-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS). Keeps 5 most recent backups and auto-restores on failure</li>
<li>Conflict Detection – Identifies if memory limits are defined elsewhere</li>
<li>System Diagnostics – File permissions and writability checks</li>
<li>Manual Fallback – Copy-paste code if automatic updates don’t work</li>
<li>Opcode Cache Clearing – Immediate effect after changes</li>
<li>Beautiful UI – Modern, card-based layout with real-time validation</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why Use This Plugin?</h4>
Manually editing wp-config.php can be: 
– Intimidating for non-technical users 
– Error-prone (syntax errors can break your site) 
– Difficult to verify if changes took effect
Memory Limit Manager solves all these problems with a safe, user-friendly interface that handles everything automatically.
<h4>What It Does</h4>
This plugin allows you to configure two WordPress memory limit constants: 
1. WP_MEMORY_LIMIT – Controls memory available on the frontend (default: 40M) 
2. WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT – Controls memory available in admin area (default: 256M)
Increasing these values can help resolve: 
– “Memory exhausted” errors 
– Plugin/theme activation failures 
– Image upload problems 
– Slow admin performance
<h4>Automatic Backup System</h4>
For your safety, the plugin automatically backs up your wp-config.php file before making any changes:
<ul>
<li>Backup File Format: wp-config.php.backup-2026-01-15-223045 (timestamped)</li>
<li>Location: Same directory as your wp-config.php file</li>
<li>Number of Backups: Keeps the 5 most recent backups, auto-deletes older ones</li>
<li>Automatic Restore: If any error occurs during update, your original wp-config.php is automatically restored</li>
<li>Manual Restore: You can manually restore any backup file via FTP/cPanel if needed</li>
</ul>
This means you can update memory limits with confidence, knowing your configuration is always protected.
<h4>Security</h4>
<ul>
<li>Nonce verification for CSRF protection</li>
<li>Capability checks (administrator-only access)</li>
<li>Input sanitization and validation</li>
<li>Secure file operations with error recovery</li>
</ul>

WP-Memory-Usage is a lightweight but powerful WordPress plugin that monitors and displays memory usage directly in your WordPress admin area. 
It is essential for site administrators and developers who need to keep an eye on memory consumption, identify bottlenecks, and act before users are affected.
What the plugin shows:
In the admin footer (every admin page): 
* Current memory usage vs. WordPress limit (with percentage) 
* Current memory usage vs. PHP limit (with percentage) 
* Server IP address and server name 
* PHP version
In the Dashboard widget (“Memory Overview”): 
* PHP version, architecture (32/64 bit), max execution time 
* WordPress memory limit (WP_MEMORY_LIMIT), WordPress admin limit (WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT), PHP memory limit 
* Current peak memory usage with a visual progress bar (colour-coded: green / orange / red) 
* Latest digest status summary (warn / danger / critical badges) 
* Link to the Threshold Alerts settings page
Settings & Monitor — Tabs (since 2.0.0):
<ul>
<li>Settings — thresholds, logging options, email alerts, log rotation</li>
<li>History — latest logged requests with full context (URL, type, user, memory)</li>
<li>Digest — aggregated summaries of past log intervals; browse, merge, and delete digest files</li>
<li>️Actions — practical guidance on what to do when you receive a memory alert</li>
<li>Diagnose (new in 2.1.0) — full PHP/WordPress configuration snapshot with a ready-to-paste AI prompt for analysis</li>
<li>Memory Thresholds — current limits, threshold assessment, and recommendations</li>
<li>Check Installation — verifies that the plugin can run correctly on your server</li>
</ul>
<h3>Why Use WP-Memory-Usage?</h3>
Excessive memory usage leads to slower sites, HTTP 500 errors, and failed background jobs (cron, imports, backups). WP-Memory-Usage gives you the information you need to act before users are affected — without overwhelming you with notifications.
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Real-time memory display in the dashboard widget and every admin page footer</li>
<li>Colour-coded progress bar (green / orange / red) for instant status recognition</li>
<li>Three alert levels: Warning, Danger, Critical — each configurable as a percentage of the effective memory limit</li>
<li>Flexible logging: Ajax, REST, Admin, Cron, favicon requests — log only what matters</li>
<li>Email alerts with configurable recipient</li>
<li>History tab: recent requests with full context (URL, type, admin screen, REST route, AJAX action, user)</li>
<li>Digest tab: aggregated interval reports — browse, merge, and delete digest files</li>
<li>Actions tab: plain-language guidance on resolving memory alerts, no developer skills required</li>
<li>Diagnose tab (new in 2.1.0): full configuration snapshot + one-click AI prompt (English, copy & paste ready)</li>
<li>Memory Thresholds tab: shows effective limits, threshold gaps, and concrete recommendations</li>
<li>Check Installation tab: verifies log directory, WP-Cron, PHP functions, disk space, and email setup</li>
<li>Admin bar indicator: quick status badge visible on every admin page</li>
<li>Multisite compatible</li>
<li>Clean uninstall: removes all options, cron jobs, database-tables and log files on deletion</li>
</ul>
