I think what you should do is set the memory_limit higher in your php.ini, right now it's only 16MB which is way too low for Exponential unfortunately.

If you don't have access to the php.ini file because you are in a shared environment you might try this @ the top of the /index.php of Exponential:

ini_set("memory_limit","150M");

Does this get rid of the issue?

Good luck!

I get answer) At .htaccess write: php_value memory_limit <value>(example: 150M)

Thanks for help)
