Hi tagdiv-Team & Community,
I know that this question already came up in at least 2 threads in this forum but apparently there hasn’t been a solution yet so I’d like to bring this problem back to your attention: I have been working on my site for some weeks now and during that time creating roughly 30 or so widgets. Everything worked fine. However, since today the widgets won’t save anymore. I am already using Chrome, deleted all caches several times, deactivated all plug-ins and am working in the accesability mode.
Does anyone has any idea how to fix this problem? It drives me nuts!!
Thanks & best,
Torge
Go to “Newspaper”->”System Status”.
What is the value you have on “max_input_vars”?
Is it 1000 or generally lower than 2000? If so, try making it 3000 (edit your php.ini and restart your server to read new settings) and check if the problem is resolved.
Also check your “WP Memory Limit”. It should be at least 64M. If its not, at your “wp-config.php” file at the root of your site add this
define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’ );
define( ‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’96M’ );
before the line
/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
and if you have enough memory, make it even higher.
so are these two values (both of them) green or yellow?
I am not part of the team, nor I know if my suggestions (that should be applied anyway) will resolve your issue. But I read at some post that “max_input_vars” is related to incomplete saves. So based on your issue I hope this is your problem.
neakriti, your solush’ doesn’t work for me ^_^
Hi neakriti,
thanks for your help. My “max_input_vars” was already set to 8000. However, my hosting company increased it to 12000 and now it works. Even though I guess that’ll only give me another couple sidebars before I run into trouble again.
Brings me to another question: Is there a way to get rid of sidebars that are not used anymore? I have around 10 sidebars I could delete/unregister but don’t know how. Any idea?
Thanks & best,
Torge
just hit the X here guy: http://i.imgur.com/4rSHsbY.png
also, you tellin’ me that increasing the max input vars to 12k helped you? that it?
Hi ratsoid,
crap – there I was looking for this option on the widget page itself all the time. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction 🙂
And yes. Increasing the value even further did the trick.
Cheers
ain’t that a bitch, it works.
I’d like to ask my fellow romanian developers that made this cool theme to notify people of this behavior with sidebars, somewhere inside status report
I’m glad this resolved your problem. I have to say that the new version of the theme is quite demanding…
Hi
I’m having the same problem. I already did and update all the settings but it still won’t save the custom sidebar. only the default are saved.
Sorry, found the problem (using none english words)
