please advise me how to change max_input_vars

  • I am having menu issues and it looks like i need to raise my max_input_vars by adding code to root directory but as i am a complete novice, this is very daunting and i really don’t know where to start. Would anyone be able to give me some sort of step by step to get my menu working properly again?

    I am using WP 3.9 and my host is Godaddy – Ultimate Linux Hosting with cPanel.

    Many hours spent already researching the fault and now i’m flying blind and really don’t want to make a proper mess of things !

    Thanks in advance

  • I had the same problem with max_input_vars and solved the issue by:

    1. Editting php.ini file and searching for “max_input_vars” and changing the value to 3000 (previously it was 1000)
    *** Dont forget to remove the “;” at the start of the code line to make this change take efffect

    2. Moving the php.ini file to wp-admin folder of the wordpress installation directory

    3. Problem solved

    if you don’t find php.ini file in your wordpress installation directory, you can creat one by going to:
    c-panel>php config
    and just pressing “Save Changes” button. that will creat a php file in public_html directory, then you can move/copy to the location you want and then you can edit the file.

    Note: i was using Bluehost and they alloow to change php config. please check if the option of “php config” is available in you c-Panel
