[Plugin: WP-Table Reloaded] Cannot sort table with more then 140 rows

Hi,

thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble that you are experiecing.

From your description, I assume that this is caused by the known “Suhosin” problem. Suhosin is a security extension on the server than can (if configured too strict) break the saving of tables and options (due to which those things you mention don’t work). Please take a look at these forums threads for more hints:

Another reason might be that the PHP Memory Limit is reached, so that the saving process simply stops. Can you try to increase the limit by following https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP ?

To confirm this, the best idea probably is to try again with a newer browser.

Thanks for your quick reply.

The problem is now solved, but it wasn’t the suhosin problem nor the memory limit. The suhosin patch was installed on my webserver (and shown up in the php.ini file), but not the suhosin add on, wich includes the variables mentioned in the linked posts above.

After some testing (and with the great help of my web host all-inkl.com) the problem was solved by increasing the php_value max_input_vars. This is a security limitation introduced in php5.3 and could be configured within a .htaccess file. I’ve risen the limitation from 1000 to 2000 characters and everything works fine now.

Hi,

thanks for the confirmation! That is really awesome! It is really great that you webhost was so nice to help out with this one!

I have now actually seen several times that this issue was caused by the max_input_vars variable. Will have to keep that in mind.

Best wishes,
Tobias
