glitch with wordpress 3 menu

  • Hey all,
    I’m building a custom menu for a site I’m developing which has 8 main sections/categories, each with several child/grandchild options, so there’s probably 70 total items in the menu/organization.

    I’ve got about three of them done without issue- I’ve got 32 items in the exact order/function I want them, but now when I add item 33 or more than that it seems like WordPress won’t let me change anymore- when I hit save menu the changes are gone and I’m stuck at the point where only those three sections are completed.

    Is there a setting I need to check, or has anyone else had an issue like this?

    I have read the following support topics on this issue, and it appears that mine are unrelated.

    I can get up to 34 items on my menu, and then it stops- I can add a ton more, but when I click save menu, it reverts to the top 34 items- it’s almost as if the space you can drag and drop the menu components in is constrained in view or something….

    Help/ideas?

    I have also contacted my ISP about the suhosin settings, and they told me to drop a php.ini file in the folder where my wordpress install is with the settings specified. I did that, but it didn’t change my problem.

    I am using a premium theme called Unisphere Corporate and wondered if because it was designed pre-Wordpress 3 if that might be interfering with things.

    The theme builder graciously added the code I need to use the custom menus with the theme, and I added his updates right away. No dice.

    I tried switching the theme to 2010 to see if that might help. The menu displays just as it’s laid out in the editor, but I still can’t get more than 32 items to go into the menu.

    Ideas?

    Because the site I’m building is basically a beta shell to test drive, I added all the pages without assigning them any parent or child roles in wordpress (aside from the custom menu set up), and I wondered if that might be giving wordpress a headache, so I installed the pagemash plugin and sorted the pages into their respective hierarchy/structure to see if that would help.

    No dice again- even the with pages organized, I’ve got the same issue- I can only get 32 items in the custom menu to show up, and anything above and beyond gets ignored when I save changes.

    I’d love to hear from some people on this!

    It may be the theme you are using.

    I can put 37 menu items in the twenty-ten default theme with no problems.

    I tried the twenty-ten default theme to check it, and I still get the ceiling of 32 items….

    It may be a server-related problem. See this Trac ticket.

    If it is, it would be nice if hosts offering wordpress installations knew that this setting would be an issue for people who need to operate big menus!
