nav-menus.php returns blank

  • Hi there

    First time WP support poster here.

    I have a problem with the menu system with WP 3.0.1. I have a menu that has 68 items at the moment (which it going to be just over 100 items when done). If I add another item (the 69th item) and click Save Menu, nav-menus.php returns blank. If I click back and remove the 69th item and click Save Menu, the menu page then shows. Why can’t I add more menu items?

    I’ve tried disabling all my plugins and increasing my PHP.ini memory limi to 64MB, but it makes no difference.

    Why is this happening?

    Any suggestions? I’ve also tried increasing timeout from 30sec to 120sec and have added this to my php.ini file
    suhosin.post.max_vars = 0
    suhosin.request.max_vars = 0

    Nothing makes a difference. nav-menus.php still gives me a blank page after clicking Update Menu.

    I’ve had a similar issue where after I added a fourth level to my multiple item menu system and saved. I returned to the page and multiple menu items were now missing.

    I’m assuming that the menu structure itself is being stored in the database. Wondering if there is a limit on number of items and levels ?

    I am now hestitate about re entering the added items only to have them disappear again and forcing a start over.

    Yeah. I gave up. The in-built WP menu system is not made well for large menus in my opinion. I resorted to using a generic Jquery menu system.

    I have the similar problem, I can not access nav-menus.php, it return a 404 not found page. I have installed a fresh wordpress with nothing posted and plugins, I just add categories and menu items, it become not working after I add certain amount of menu item.

    For my real site, I tried the following: I deleted .htaccess file, the nav-menu.php return an internal server error page, but all other files in the back admin area are all working. .htaccess file is required for using custom permalink. After I put .htaccess file back, it return a 404 not found. I can no longer access the menu panel in the admin area.

    my php version 5.2, memory set to 128 Mb. Now I aming using a menu plugin to do the menu.

    Please post just one new topic.
