I’m having limited number of menu issue in my WordPress. I’m having about 100 menu + sub menus on my page. In my previous hosting, I don’t have this limited issue. After I reached about 80 menus, I couldn’t create more.
I’ve Google on this issue and found many suggestions and I have tried the following.
-
Edit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini by changing
max_input_varsfrom 1000 to 5000. Restart apache -
Create a new php.ini and put in wp-admin folder.
Change max_input_vars = 3000
upload_max_filesize = 70M;
post_max_size = 128M;
upload_tmp_dir = 70M;
max_input_vars = 3000;
memory_limit = 256M;
- edit .httaccess by adding
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_value max_input_vars 5000
</IfModule>
None of them works.
I also found a suggestion that it’s the limit that can only be adjusted by hosting. However, I have already asked the support team, but they said they can’t help on this setting.
This’s very important since I really need to have a lot of items on my menu. Really appreciate anyone help.
Note - I’m using WordPress App image from Digital Ocean on Linux 14.04 Apache server.

Change max input vars by uploading php.ini in wp-admin, this way seemed to work for me How to Increase the Menu Items Limit In WordPress
FYI : It seems that the problem was ignorance. So I thought I would share.
In the PHP.ini file if something has a semi-colon at the start then it is text. To actually make the change you must remove the semi-colon
Of the below lines, line one is inactive while line two is active. It should be noted that by default the php.ini file has max_input_vars as inactive. Once I removed the semi-colon and change the variable. All I needed to do was power off the VPS and turn it back on. This resolved the issue for me.
Having same issue with no resolution.
