Manage Database Fields – options not saving

    Hi,

    I have a problem: When I’m in Manage Database Fields and adding a checkbox/dropdown or any other field with options, the plugin ‘forgets’ the options I filled out as soon as I hit ‘update fields’. It also ‘forgets’ which boxes I checked at the bottom. Making it impossible to use these fields. Existing fields continue to work, but can’t be edited.

    What is wrong? Are there requirements to php version or https?

    Hope you can help me out,

    Bo

    This kind of thing will happen if the amount of data on the page exceeds the data transfer limits of your server. This can vary from server to server, and in some cases can be quite low.

    You can possibly change the limits, typically this would be the post_max_size setting for php.

    It’s also a good solution to break the group of field up into smaller groups so you’re not submitting so much data at one go.

    Thank you for the answer, the post_max_size is set on 256M (Default), would that be not enough? It has php version: 5.4.16. Might that be the problem?
    The group is just a name, email and the dropdown so I don’t think that can be too much.

    php must be at leas 5.6, and even that is pretty old…you really should go to version 7+ on your php
