Product's variations doesn't save, lost after updating product

  • Hello,

    When I’m configuring a variable products’ variations such as its price, image and other info, it isn’t saved when I update the product (*click* on update). Some of the product’s variations are saved while others are not and when I try to re-add the missing info, it still isn’t saved when I update the product. My variations ranged from 50 to 100 and more. Maybe woocommerce can’t remember to save that much?

    Does anyone have this issue? What can I do to fix this or work around it? I can create a login for those who want to troubleshoot it…

  • What value have you got at Admin page > WooCommerce > System Status > PHP Max input vars? If its say 1000 try increasing it to say 3000 in php.ini. You may need to ask your host techs to do it if you can’t access it.

    It’s set at 1000. How can I increase it to the desired amount? What’s the max amount?

    To increase the value, put just:

    max_input_vars = 3000

    in a plain text file called php.ini in your WordPress root. However servers can work in different ways so this may not work for you. Some hosts don’t let users mess with php.ini because of security concerns. If this applies to you, ask your host’s techs to do it. Alternatively there is a way to put it in .htaccess if you Google it.

    The max amount is “no more than necessary”, limiting it limits attack vectors.

    max_input_vars is the number of variables submitted by a form (ie the variations setup form) in the POST array. I’ve not been able to find any guidance on the numbers but say 25 per variation.

    That may not be the problem, but “some data being lost” on submit is a symptom of an insufficient setting.
