for a client I have to fix a problem. At the moment he can’t save more than 66 fields in an ACF-Group. I was researching a bit and found out, that one possible problem could be, that the max_input_vars in the php.ini is too low, so PHP rejects the POST-Values after 1.000 fields. I was checking and indeed the Form was sending more than 1.000 fields.
I first tried the .htaccess-Solution as described e.g. here:
http://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/repeater-field-values-disappearing/
But, this produced an Error 500 because the machine is (as I found out) running as FastCGI. For people with this problem, check the possibilty of the user.ini:
http://php.net/manual/de/configuration.file.per-user.php
So I translated the .htaccess to the .user.ini and uploaded this file.
max_input_vars = 5000
max_input_time = 300
max_input_nesting_level = 128
max_execution_time = 300
post_max_size = 32M
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
displays set the new values are set as local values for PHP now.
But unfortunatly still, after uploading and everything, I am not able to save more than these 66 fields. Now, I have no further idea, what to do. Does anyone has an suggesstion?
Thanks a lot!
