 * The plugin works fine on all the tables in my database except the options table.
   On that I get the “An error occurred processing your request. Try decreasing 
   the “Max Page Size”, or contact support.” error message. I have deactivated all
   other plugins, reduced the Max Page Size to 5000 and increased the php memory
   to 512m. This is a local development environment running under DesktopServer.
 * Any suggestions?

 * Same issue on a VPS, reduced Max Page Size to 10k, then 5k, then 1k. Doubled 
   following php.ini values: memory_limit to 512M, max_input_vars to 3000, max_input_time
   to 480, max_execution_time to 480, post_max_size to 64M.
 * Only on wp_options table (size of 3.52M).

 * Same problem in a wp_options table. Php 7.3, 512M memory, input time 120″. Strange
   error in logs:

 * It would be good to get a response from the developer. I wonder if it is in the‘
   too difficult’ pile.

 * Hi Guys, i’m not a technical person at all, but this is what i’m having to do
   for now:
 * Make sure PHP is set to 7.1 before you migrate a site to the domain name
    Carry
   out better search replace and it processes the wp_options file with no issues
   Change to PHP 7.2
 * This worked for me, however, if you change your domain to PHP 7.1 and try to 
   run better search replace it still don’t work, i have to migrate my sites to 
   my server set to PHP 7.1 for it to work, i cannot change it, this does not work,
   hoping the plugin support can offer a solution, ps, the same thing happens with
   other search and replace plugins too… 🙂

 * Hi All, i’ve been having this issue with all sites on PHP 7.2 or higher, other
   search replace plugins had the same error, i now use wp migrate db to do the 
   search and replace function and it works great, i love better search replace 
   and have always used it, but cannot get any answers or help on the issue, lots
   of other users having the same issue on facebook forums, please let me know if
   this has worked for you too… 🙂

   I changed the php version to 7.1 and it worked. 🙂

 * Although it’s an older issue I came up to it yesterday. Instead of upgrading/
   downgrading my php version I had to delete Duplicator plugin,which seems to block
   the wp_options table somehow. I came accross this solution because neither WP
   Migrate DB worked for me and on their boards they suggested it!

 * > delete Duplicator plugin
 * Thank you [@piedi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/piedi/) for the solution.
 * I migrated using duplicator and although it was disabled but somehow was causing
   issue in options table. its all good after removing it and love for better search
   and replace remains intact <3

 * [@piedi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/piedi/) Thank you for the catch 
   there. That is the exact issue I was having and deleting Duplicator fixed my 
   issue. Duplicator was disabled but still blocking this table. After I deleted
   it. Worked like a charm!
 * Thanks so much for sharing the solution!

 * [@piedi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/piedi/) Thanks for the solution.
   In my case I didn’t have to delete Duplicator, just disable it, that way I could
   use Better Search Replace without problems.
