Raise the Memory Limit for Admin Tasks
Gives memory-hungry admin tasks like image processing and imports more room, without raising the limit for every front-end visit.
Opens WPIDE on
Code
// Memory available to admin screens, image editing and similar heavy tasks.
$wpide_admin_memory = '512M';
add_filter( 'admin_memory_limit', function () use ( $wpide_admin_memory ) {
return $wpide_admin_memory;
} );
add_filter( 'image_memory_limit', function () use ( $wpide_admin_memory ) {
return $wpide_admin_memory;
} );Notes
Your host's PHP limit still applies; this cannot go above it.
