In certain situations, it may be necessary to adjust the PHP memory limit of a box. This usually means that the limit must be increased.

This can be the case, for example, if:

  • Your box loads a so-called white screen,

  • your website builder, such as Elementor does not load correctly or

  • you get a PHP memory error in the error log.

💡 The PHP memory limit defines the maximum amount of memory available to PHP scripts. This value is important in WordPress, as complex themes, plugins or import processes can require more resources to run without errors. If error messages such as “Allowed memory size exhausted” appear, the limit should be increased to avoid memory bottlenecks.

You can easily adjust the PHP memory limit in the Box dashboard in your Box settings.

  • To do this, first click on the Settings tab in your Box overview.

  • Then navigate to the PHP menu and click on PHP Memory Limit.

  • Select the desired limit from the drop-down menu

  • and confirm the entry by clicking on Apply.

👉 You can change the PHP memory limit from the Starter plan onwards. The values available to you depend on the selected plan. The value for the PHP memory limit cannot be changed for Mini boxes.
