Issues with custom menu

    Hi, I’ve done a lot of searching but with no success.

    I’m in the middle of moving a site across to WordPress to make it easier to update. There will be around 100 pages, however my issue starts when I add anything over 50 pages.

    When you select “View All” in the Custom Menus section of Appearance, the structure of the website is kept, but only with the first 50 pages.

    As soon as you add a page after there are 50 pages, it gets put randomly in the Custom Menus “View All” selector, generally at the end of the list, but not always. Despite the site structure being as it should be, and the pages and sub-pages numbered correctly.

    Oddly when you change the page location in the Pages “Edit” or “Quick Edit” drop down menus, the site structure is as expected with all the pages nested as they should be.

    I have increased the resource limits of the PHP.ini file to:

    max_execution_time = 30
    max_input_time = 90
    max_input_vars = 5000
    memory_limit = 256M

    The higher values are appearing in the PHP info, so they are being loaded.

    I thought it may have been a corrupted database, but that’s not the case. As soon as I delete pages to bring the total to 50 or less, then the structure goes back to how it should be.

    If anyone has come across this, or has a solution that would be great.

    Cheers!

  • I’m assuming you are talking about the left hand side when it comes to the custom menus and how the pages get laid out. Let me try and help avoid some confusion. The information on the left hand side when you click view all is just giving you your pages so that you can build your menus on the right hand side. The way that the menu view works is that for it to show children you actually need the pages to have parents. Have you done that correctly? I have worked with sites over 100 pages long and have never had issues.

    Hi, thanks for your quick reply.

    Yes, we are talking about the list of pages with a check box next to them to create a custom menu on the right hand side.

    All is as expected up to 50 pages, as soon as I add any more then the list of tick boxes gets messed up.

    I’ve been systematically through the site making sure the page numbering is ok and that there are no clashes. I thought it may be something to do with permalinks so reverted to none.

    I’m totally at a loss!
