<p>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.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>One-Click Updates</strong> – Change memory limits with a single button click</li>
<li><strong>Quick Presets</strong> – Common configurations (128M/256M, 256M/512M, 512M/1G, 1G/2G)</li>
<li><strong>Automatic wp-config.php Backups</strong> – 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><strong>Conflict Detection</strong> – Identifies if memory limits are defined elsewhere</li>
<li><strong>System Diagnostics</strong> – File permissions and writability checks</li>
<li><strong>Manual Fallback</strong> – Copy-paste code if automatic updates don’t work</li>
<li><strong>Opcode Cache Clearing</strong> – Immediate effect after changes</li>
<li><strong>Beautiful UI</strong> – Modern, card-based layout with real-time validation</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why Use This Plugin?</h4>
<p>Manually editing wp-config.php can be:<br />
– Intimidating for non-technical users<br />
– Error-prone (syntax errors can break your site)<br />
– Difficult to verify if changes took effect</p>
<p>Memory Limit Manager solves all these problems with a safe, user-friendly interface that handles everything automatically.</p>
<h4>What It Does</h4>
<p>This plugin allows you to configure two WordPress memory limit constants:<br />
1. <strong>WP_MEMORY_LIMIT</strong> – Controls memory available on the frontend (default: 40M)<br />
2. <strong>WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT</strong> – Controls memory available in admin area (default: 256M)</p>
<p>Increasing these values can help resolve:<br />
– “Memory exhausted” errors<br />
– Plugin/theme activation failures<br />
– Image upload problems<br />
– Slow admin performance</p>
<h4>Automatic Backup System</h4>
<p>For your safety, the plugin automatically backs up your <strong>wp-config.php file</strong> before making any changes:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Backup File Format</strong>: wp-config.php.backup-2026-01-15-223045 (timestamped)</li>
<li><strong>Location</strong>: Same directory as your wp-config.php file</li>
<li><strong>Number of Backups</strong>: Keeps the 5 most recent backups, auto-deletes older ones</li>
<li><strong>Automatic Restore</strong>: If any error occurs during update, your original wp-config.php is automatically restored</li>
<li><strong>Manual Restore</strong>: You can manually restore any backup file via FTP/cPanel if needed</li>
</ul>
<p>This means you can update memory limits with confidence, knowing your configuration is always protected.</p>
<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>

<h4>Usage</h4>
<p>After installation memory usage will be logged for any user as they browse the website and dashboard, you can see the logs via the Memory Meter menu in the WordPress dashboard.</p>
<p>By default the memory meter will be shown in the admin bar if you are logged in as user with the <code>manage_options</code> capability such as an administrator (the capability can be modified if required, see the configuration tab via the Memory Meter page).</p>
<p>In this scenario you will see the meter in the admin bar at the top of your WordPress dashboard and the frontend of your website. Note that there is a user profile setting in WordPress to enable the admin bar, it is enabled by default, if this is not enabled you will not be able to view the memory meter in the admin bar.</p>
<p>If you hover over the memory meter you will see a number of options, such as logs and configuration. In addition to the admin bar, a menu item is included in your WordPress dashboard to give access to the logs, confirguration, etc.</p>
<p>Note that the memory meter doesn’t need to be displayed to ensure memory usage is logged, this is done regardless of whether the memory meter is being displayed.</p>
