Form And Field Settings Do Not Save / Revert To Default
Some users will experience problems when trying to save forms that have a large number of fields. Usually this occurs when the field count approaches 60-100 or greater. After this point, fields can be added, but the saving behavior will be very erratic, and some field data will not save properly. This primarily affects the Ninja Forms Admin.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, and you have a very large form, the problem lies within your php.ini (You may need to contact your your web host if you aren’t familiar with how to edit this file). There are a few settings that can impact this issue and they are as follows.
- max_input_vars: This setting limits the number of form input fields that can be submitted on one page. The default setting is 1000, and will need to be changed if you encounter the problems above. It can be changed to 10000 or a larger number to prevent the error from occurring.
- suhosin.request.max_vars: Set this to the same value as above.
- suhosin.post.max_vars: Set this to the same value as above.
- max_input_nesting_level: You may want to also set this to a very high number as well.
This takes care of 99.99% of all long form saving issues.
GoDaddy suggested that I rename the file to php5.ini once I was finished
