Hi, guys new to the forums. Got a feeling Flywheel will become a new eHome as it really helps my workflow.

I am a bit stuck. I’ve got a local site running on windows 10 using the default configuration, but I need to change my PHP max. input time.

I uselly fix this by:  
1- Theme Functions File - @ini\_set( ‘max\_input\_time’ , ‘1000’ );  
2- Create or Edit an existing PHP.INI file - max\_input\_time = 1000  
3- htaccess Method - php\_value max\_input\_time 1000

None of this has given me any pleasure. Does anybody have any suggestions?

You are a legend thanks.  
The nginx.conf file should be "Local Sites --\> { site } --\> conf --\> nginx --\> nginx.conf” but for some reason I don’t have a conf folder is this something I need to activate?

I believe the conf folder is only present with a Custom, not Preferred, environment.

When you make the environment (the website) use custom settings as this will generate the configuration file that you can edit.
