Why am I getting a fatal memory error on WordPress?

Question

I get the following error when I try to open the sitemap.xml of my WordPress blog:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1052672 bytes) in /xxx/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/inc/sitemaps/class-taxonomy-sitemap-provider.php on line 131

Link to the Sitemap: https://dooiz.com/sitemap_index.xml

The answer is actually pretty obvious. You have to increase the memory limit of your webspace.

Write this in your wp-config under the debug line:

define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M' );

you could also try writing the following in the .htaccess file

php_value memory_limit 512M

Or ask your webspace provider how and if you can increase the memory limit.
