Synology Increase WordPress PHP Memory Limit

PHP is a lightweight, fast, and open-source language that’s ideal for generating website elements. Did you know that WordPress has a PHP memory limit of 32MB by default? When this limit is reached, WordPress will automatically increase available memory to 40MB without it needing your intervention. If you hit this limit as well, then you’ll get an error message on the front end page and in your PHP logs. In this step by step guide I will show you how to increase your WordPress PHP memory limit.
