WordPress Memory Error

I'm getting a memory error when trying to use the admin dashboard color schemer plugin. I tried editing php.ini and wp-config to allow for more memory, but nothing seems to be working. Is the plugin broken? Any tips?

"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4096 bytes) in /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/admin-color-schemer/lib/phpsass/script/SassScriptLexer.php on line 111"

Edit: Also, I deactivated every plugin, did a database reset, and this is a local WP install.

Hi,

For a plugin that really shouldn't mess with much that seems odd.

I have checked out the plugin on GitHub and for me I would deactivate the plugin and make sure your site works as it should. If so reset the wp-config to default settings as well as php.ini. These are two files that should not need touching for a plugin to work correctly.

This plugin has not been touched for 3 years, that's OK in some cases but with all the changes to the way the admin works in WordPress I would say this is a plugin to avoid at the moment.

Hope this helps,

Craig :)
