When I try to open my site home page http://www.paolopurri.altervista.org/joomla/ I have the message:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 130968 bytes) in /membri/paolopurri/joomla/libraries/joomla/registry/registry.php on line 816

Even though you seem to have more than adequate memory limit for the average site (256M) it's still being exceeded by *something*.

A quick conversion shows 268435456 bytes = 256MB (equal to the set memory limit) but is trying to allocate an additional 0.124901 Megabytes.

The easiest fix is to increase the memory limit (256M to 512M in php.ini, or through your hosting settings; it's best to ask your web host for assistance).

Are you on a live host or your PC - the FPA should give those details but they are missing from the report:
FPA wrote:Host Configuration :: OS: | OS Version: | Technology: | Web Server: Apache | Encoding: gzip | System TMP Writable: Yes | Free Disk Space : Unknown |
As to the cause, that is not clear; it might be any one or a combination of these:
  • Out of date Widget kit extension; the version of Widget Kit reported by the FPA is 1.3.4. The available version is 3.1.6 but only for Joomla 3.x
  • Out of date Joomla- v2.5 hasn't been supported in almost a decade.
  • Your template - tk_gen_free_ii (2.0.0) hasn't been updated since 2012.
Therefore my conclusion and advice is to update your site to the current, supported Joomla 3.10.x at this stage released August 2021. You might have to consider an alternative template, but you can then update to the current Widget Kit if you need to use it.
