-------------------------------------------

Warning! Your PHP configuration limits the maximum number of fields allowed in a form
1000 for max_input_vars.
Please ask your hosting provider to increase this limit to 2166 at least, or you will have to edit the translation files.

there are several possibilities to fix it,

in fact you mentioned that you use xampp

do you know that xampp has got 3 php.ini files? change this entry in each of them!

thanks for sharing, working with php.ini can be frustrating to know if change actually is being reflected at runtime.  use this free module to view your phpinfo as seen by PrestaShop.

Hello - I have this problem as well and am encountering another problem when editing my .htaccess.


After adding the suggested line "php_value max_input_vars 3000" to .htaccess under the store's root directory I begin receiving an internal server error 500.

 

I have added this at the very beginning of the file, the very end, and in numerous positions in between - all failing with the same symptom.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

what about .php ini file ? have you got possibility to alter php environment settings in php.ini file?

 

 

you see internal 500 because you probably haven't got possibility to define such commands in .htaccess file.

 Vekia,

 

Thank you for your reply.  This makes sense.  I do not know where I would edit the php.ini file.  I am hosted on cPanel with a hosting reseller package - so I have most, but not entire control of the environment.  I am not even sure yet if I will be able to edit the php instance at that level  I am not well experienced at this depth yet (but learning more every day).  I recognize my trouble here is getting outside the scope of the Prestashop forum, however, so I will not cloud up this thread with troubleshooting that is off-topic.  I will take the info you've given me here and try to figure out what direction to head.  I will start by contacting my provider. 

 

Thank you again for your help!

 

EDIT::  I talked to my provider and they pointed me to some procedures on editing the php configuration.  My problem is solved thanks to you pointing me in the right direction.  Thank you!!

To Fix this error: Increase the max_input_vars in php.ini

 

FTP in and copy file php.ini to hard drive.

 

put this only:

 

max_input_vars = 5020

 

Save and upload and put inside your admin folder : admin---

 

Worked for me.
