Max_input_vars increase

Support Uncategorized

Hi,
I installed a theme (Jupiter) that asking me to increase the max_input_vars value.
So I paste it in php.ini and php5.ni files in the php 5.6.20 folder this values:
max_input_vars = 4000
suhosin.get.max_vars = 4000
suhosin.post.max_vars = 4000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 4000

But without success, I still got this message:
Maximum Input Vars: 1000, max_input_vars should be at least 4000.

Thanks for help.

By the way congratulations for your software,
it’s changed my life, really!

Hi Christian,

Glad to hear it’s helped!

Did you try restarting the site after updating the PHP config?

Hi,
yes it’s ok now with this alert.
But I’m still unable to install the templates theme.
I got a 500 error instead…

Can you please check the logs directory? There may be a clue in the PHP error logs.

You can also try enabling WP_DEBUG in wp-config.php to get more verbose error logging. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress

Thank you for mentioning restarting the local host. I had this same issue and had been scouring for hours trying to sort this out for a theme I just purchased.

If anyone else has this same issue with max_input_vars = 1000 and needing to increase I combined adding the following values, (in my case I needed a min of 3000):

max_input_vars = 3000
suhosin.get.max_vars = 3000
suhosin.post.max_vars = 3000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 3000

in the following php.ini files: 5.3.29, 5.6.20, 7.0.3 (see screen shot) after saving each file in my code editor (I used text wrangler) I went back to Local by FlyWheel > Help > Restart Local Machine

And viola everything was sorted! Thank you both!
