    Whenever I try to upgrade plugins manually I get this following error
    "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 314310 bytes) in /home/public_html/wp-includes/http.php on line 1324"

    Also I can see some errors on my desktop

    This error is because of Wordpress exceeding it’s predetermined memory limit. All you need to do is change the memory limit from “32M” to “64M" in wp-settings.php file.

    Change :

    if ( !defined('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT') )
	define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '32M');
    PHP:
    to :

    if ( !defined('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT') )
	define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');
    PHP:

    Try that first but you may have to get your host to increase the limit. Some hosts apply restrictions on what endusers can adjust for php settings.

    Update the plugin manually then. You may want to consider a new host as as Wordpress (and other CMSes as well) grows, you're going to need more memory soon anyway.

    Maybe you should switch to other host then.

    Switching between host is easy nowadays, most hosting provider have free switching service.

    Well you can remove all of the plugins and replace them one at a time. To be honest though, that's rather time consuming and a pain.

    I really see this as a customer service issue though. 32 megs assigned to php scripts is rather low with todays scripts. For example, I couldn't run a decent sized Gallery install with php set to 32 megs.

    +1 for a new host. Make sure you ask about the php memory limit before signing up with a new host. You can use that as a test to see how responsive their support is.

    Ask your host to increase the limit. Get in to your control panel and see by yourself.

    I believe the poster has stated that they have asked the host and the response was no, no increase was possible.
