admin_memory_limit WordPress Filter Hook
The admin_memory_limit hook is called when the memory limit for the admin area is reached. This hook allows you to either increase the memory limit or take action to reduce the amount of memory being used.
apply_filters( 'admin_memory_limit', int|string $filtered_limit ) #
Filters the maximum memory limit available for administration screens.
Description
This only applies to administrators, who may require more memory for tasks like updates. Memory limits when processing images (uploaded or edited by users of any role) are handled separately.
The WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT constant specifically defines the maximum memory limit available when in the administration back end. The default is 256M (256 megabytes of memory) or the original memory_limit php.ini value if this is higher.
Parameters
- $filtered_limit
(int|string)The maximum WordPress memory limit. Accepts an integer (bytes), or a shorthand string notation, such as '256M'.
