Wordpress error that I think is due to memory

[ebizlpcr]

I'm not very familiar with PHP, but I do know that I don't have much in my storage, so I don't understand why it keeps insisting there's a problem
what does this even mean?

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 32505856) (tried to allocate 12288 bytes) in /home/myname/public_html/wp-admin/includes/update.php on line 403
Also, every refresh, I'm able to get back in the wp backend, all I'm doing is uploading a picture ( a thumbnail to be precise)
and then

"Memory" in this case doesn't refer to storage but memory allocated on the server to run php scripts. And "update.php" is the file that Wordpress calls to update your installation to a new version. If it doesn't run properly, it keeps on trying and consequently loops and exceeds whatever the php memory limits are set at for your account.
For the first time,Wordpress is running auto updates to the new version (3.8.1) and apparently there are a number of issues. What version are you currently on?
Since this isn't a hosting issue, you should post a question in the wordpress.org forum. While there search for "increase php memory limits" if you want a temporary fix.

hi there, thanks for the reply. I went about and explored the forum to discover... this is an issue not i alone am experiencing. So you say its not the host. Im still so confused, as I don't see much from this in their forum. I noticed that it's definetely since WP 3. 8.1 upgrade i've been experiencing this problem. I think I've uninstalled/reinstalled the platform more than twice now, as I was convinced it was because of a recent plugin i was curious to try out. I have a subdomain where I pretty much dont have much plugins, and noticed that ever since the update, wp has been going crazy on me. So, should I downgrade to the previous version or wait until they create some type of bug fix or patch?

I know it's a hassle, but I'd use an earlier version until it's all sorted. It's just one of the hazards of the profession, I guess.

Update one thing, another becomes outdated... I've actually been in the habit for a while now of using older scripts until they throw up more errors than newer versions.

Wordpress has juked me a few times in the same way that many people here lately have been juked by it, and the only thing that's ever resolved it for me is finding out what kind of server my host is using, and which version, and using that as my development server at home, and then trying every available version of a script until I find the one that works best and doesn't screw up the server or anything.

I agree with the above poster saying you should take it to wordpress.org, not that it'll get anything resolved immediately but if enough people point it out enough times, maybe it'll light a fire under their butts.

I know nobody ever said it would be easy, but they also never said it would be so difficult... Must be why they call it "work."
