WordPress 3.4 limited to 90 menu items

Written by

, , , , ,

I’m working on a WordPress site. The site is to have roughly 106 pages all accessible via the WordPress menu system so that the enduser can add and remove pages from the menu as they like. Unfortunately, WordPress currently only allows 90 nodes (ie. 90 menu items) per menu. I have not figured out if this is a memory limitation, a hard coded limitation, or a setting yet. This must be overcome!

Reference:

Possible solutions:

  • Use add descendants as submenu items plugin
  • Check error logs and make sure max post vars was not exceeded. If so, increase in either .htaccess or php.ini
  • See if suhosin.post.max_vars and suhosin.request.max_vars are used with Dreamhost

    Thank you so much. Helped to register in .htaccess “php_value max_input_vars 10000”!

    Yes, the max_input_vars in the php.ini file changed to 2000 fixed the problem

    Jose, in your php.ini try increasing the size of “suhosin.post.max_vars” and “suhosin.request.max_vars”. I have mine set at 60000. 10000 may not be enough.

    I recommend putting a file in your root directory with a single line that reads and browsing to that file. Name it something like serversettings.php and browse to http://mydomain.com/serversettings.php then search through the settings to see if your host accepted your change to 60000. It may be that your host doesn’t allow overrides or has a different procedure for overrides.

    Good luck!

    btw, I eventually switched to Dreamhost using a virtual private server and had better luck with this.
