New Channel – Won’t allow me to create episodes
-
I’ve been using PowerPress for 7 years, I use Podcasting Channels, each channel is it’s own show. Yesterday I created a new Channel and all seems fine, however when I create an episode and paste in the media URL (which is directly from AWS) I can validate it fine, but it WILL NOT SAVE when I publish the post. The post itself is fine, but PowerPress will not save the media link.
All of the other channels continue to work fine, it’s just this new one. I have even gone as far as to delete the channel and recreate it, and I have the same problem.
PowerPress Version 8.7.8

Hi edzila60610,
The lead developer of PowerPress saw your question and had this to say:
If they have more than 4-5 channels (or lots of other plugins adding fields to your edit screen), the number of fields you can have on a page will be exceeded. The last podcast channels on the page will not save in this case. Every PowerPrees Episode box can add as many as 100 or more new fields per podcast box.
There are multiple ways to fix:- remove unused fields from the episode boxes
- Increase the number of fields your server supports
- Remove other plugins you are no longer using that add fields to your edit screen
To remove fields in the Episode box, click the gear in the podcast box and remove fields aggressively removing fields you do not use when publishing podcasts.
Increase the number of fields your server supports
You may increase the max_input_vars PHP variable to allow for additional input fields. The max_input_vars variable in PHP is a server level setting, with a default of 1000.
It may be possible to set this in the .htaccess, which would look like this:
php_value max_input_vars 2000
Otherwise it needs to be set in the apache config files, and would look similar to above, or be set in the php.ini file that the server uses, which would look like:max_input_vars 2000
Note you cannot set it with the ini_set() function, this is a setting that needs to be set before PHP code is executed.
