Suddenly not working – only 100 fields limit on particular host

    I’ve been using this plug in really successfully to manage large amounts of WooCommerce variations.

    Now it is showing just a field limit of 100 where the max_input_vars is 5000.

    I’ve tested this on several sites via one particular hosting company and then on a different one where it works fine.

    So something on the hosting set up is preventing the correct number of fields being reflected by the plug in.

    Do you have an idea of what this might be so I can contact the host to rectify?

    thanks

    Nope, not encountered this before, so no clues.

    If the plugin cannot determine the limit, then it defaults to 1000 rather than 100 (unless that was a typo) as 1000 is the PHP default.

    Do you have any other details of a site that isn’t working? For example, the version of WP, PHP, Apache/ngnx/other webserver. Maybe mail me the output from phpinfo() and I’ll look through this.

    Thanks for such a quick reply

    No it wasn’t a typo!

    phpinfo() is blocked on the server – it says for security reasons.

    Could this be the issue?

    The WooCommerce status page can read the max_input_vars of 5000 but not your plug in.

    I’m positive it is something blocked at the host as I’ve tried on two different accounts with them

    Had the same issue.

    Check your php.ini file if you can get into it or ask your host to.

    max_input_vars
    suhosin.get.max_vars
    suhosin.post.max_vars
    suhosin.request.max_vars

    One or more of these is probably set to 100.

    And thanks for a great plugin Jason! Has saved me from ending up with half the product variations missing lots of times!

    Glad you have found it useful. It has saved me a couple of times too. Each new version of WooCommerce seems to add new fields to each variation, so the increase in the number of fields that need to be submitted can really catch you unawares.

    I am wondering whether jQuery provides – out of the box – more of the functionality of counting the fields that will be submitted in the form. I’m sure the JavaScript could be simplified a little, but I haven’t had time to explore that yet.

    With no reply in four weeks, I’ll assume this was resolved. If not, feel free to reopen it or raise a new support request with any new information.
