Title: Menu editor will not save changes Last modified: May 5, 2020 --- # Menu editor will not save changes * [jmorgannz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmorgannz/) * (@jmorgannz) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-editor-will-not-save-changes/) * Hi, * I have freshly installed your plugin, and when I try to make any changes (reorder, change title, change link) for any item, when I click the save changes button the changes revert to default in the editor itself – the changes are never applied to the actual admin menu. * The menu I am trying to change is the WooCommerce products menu. I want to move a submenu item to be the first in the list, so that clicking products defaults to opening it. See image for example: [https://ibb.co/bFQtnWP](https://ibb.co/bFQtnWP) * This is a regular single site WordPress setup. Nothing funny. Wordpress version is 5.4.1 * I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin.

Please search the `wp_options` table for options named `ws_menu_editor`. Normally, there should be only one result. Please delete all options that match that name (it may be a good idea to backup the database first), then try saving some menu changes again. * [Marlon Amâncio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marlonlamancio/) * (@marlonlamancio) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-editor-will-not-save-changes/#post-12841100) * Hi Janis! Hope you are doing good today. * I’m with the same issue, when I’ve clicked “Save Changes” the plugin display “ Settings Saved” but actually do not apply the new changes. I’ve checked at database for option `ws_menu_editor` at `wp_options` table but there isn’t. * ``` ### wp-core ### version: 5.4.1 site_language: en_US user_language: en_US timezone: -10:00 permalink: /%postname%/ https_status: true user_registration: 0 default_comment_status: open multisite: false user_count: 1357 dotorg_communication: true ### wp-plugins-active (24) ### Admin Menu Editor: version: 1.9.5, author: Janis Elsts Astra Pro: version: 2.4.1, author: Brainstorm Force AutomateWoo: version: 4.9.3, author: WooCommerce AutomateWoo - Refer A Friend Add-on: version: 2.5.5, author: WooCommerce Elementor: version: 2.9.8, author: Elementor.com Elementor Pro: version: 2.9.4, author: Elementor.com Envato Market: version: 2.0.3, author: Envato Facebook for WooCommerce: version: 1.11.2, author: Facebook Mailchimp for WooCommerce: version: 2.4.0, author: Mailchimp PayPal Express Checkout Payment Gateway for WooCommerce ( Basic ): version: 1.4.5, author: WebToffee Rank Math SEO: version: 1.0.42.3, author: Rank Math SG Optimizer: version: 5.5.4, author: SiteGround Smart Manager For WooCommerce – Stock Management, Bulk Edit & more...: version: 4.3.11, author: StoreApps Ultimate Addons for Elementor: version: 1.24.2, author: Brainstorm Force URL Shortener by MyThemeShop: version: 1.0.16, author: MyThemeShop WooCommerce: version: 4.1.0, author: Automattic WooCommerce Google Analytics Integration: version: 1.4.21, author: WooCommerce WooCommerce Table Rate Shipping: version: 4.2.1, author: Bolder Elements Wordfence Security: version: 7.4.7, author: Wordfence WP Crontrol: version: 1.8.3, author: John Blackbourn & crontributors WPForms Lite: version: 1.6.0.1, author: WPForms WP Mail SMTP: version: 2.0.1, author: WPForms YITH WooCommerce Gift Cards: version: 2.0.4, author: YITH YITH WooCommerce Wishlist: version: 3.0.10, author: YITH ### wp-server ### server_architecture: Linux 3.12.18-clouder0 x86_64 httpd_software: Apache php_version: 7.3.16 64bit php_sapi: cgi-fcgi max_input_variables: 3000 time_limit: 120 memory_limit: 768M max_input_time: 120 upload_max_size: 128M php_post_max_size: 128M curl_version: 7.59.0 OpenSSL/1.0.2r suhosin: false imagick_availability: false htaccess_extra_rules: true ### wp-database ### extension: mysqli server_version: 5.6.40-84.0-log client_version: mysqlnd 5.0.12-dev ``` * Plugin Author [Janis Elsts](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whiteshadow/) * (@whiteshadow) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-editor-will-not-save-changes/#post-12843719) * Thank you for including all of those details, [@marlonlamancio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marlonlamancio/). The core information, server configuration and database versions all look fine to me. I’m not familiar with some of those active plugins, so I’m not sure if there could be a plugin conflict of some kind. * Given that the plugin says “settings saved” but the `wp_options` table doesn’t contain a `ws_menu_editor` option, it’s likely that the problem is somewhere between the plugin calling the `update_option()` API function and the related SQL query reaching the database. Could any of the active plugins change or filter data that gets saved to/loaded from the database? For example, are any of them doing database caching or some kind of query filtering? If so, try temporarily deactivating those plugins and see if that makes any difference. * _Edit:_ You could also try logging all database queries to see if there are any queries that try to create or modify the `ws_menu_editor` option. Here’s one way to log queries: [https://cleody.com/log-wordpress-database-queries/](https://cleody.com/log-wordpress-database-queries/) * It looks like this code could quickly generate a huge log file if used on a popular site, so I would not recommend using it for long. - This reply was modified 6 years ago by [Janis Elsts](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whiteshadow/).
