Title: [Plugin: Custom Menu] custom menu limits? Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Custom Menu] custom menu limits? * Resolved [joelsburg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joelsburg/) * (@joelsburg) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-menu-custom-menu-limits/) * I’m building a WordPress site with a large custom menu structure (around 100 items). I had about 100 items in the menu over the weekend, but when I tried to move one item around yesterday, WP suddenly started cutting the menu off at 90 items exactly, and now I can’t add any new items. * It also changes the final menu item from “page” to “custom” and places it as a parent item, instead of a child/grandchild, as intended. Upon saving, I get no error messages or any indication that something went wrong. * After searching around, I’ve discovered a number of discussion threads that suggest this could be a web host issue, having to do with the host’s “suhosin” or “max_vars” settings in the site’s php.ini file, or that certain settings in the .htaccess file could solve the problem. * See: * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/limit-on-items-in-custom-menus-30](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/limit-on-items-in-custom-menus-30) [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14134](http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14134) [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-menu-has-a-limit-of-49-links-of-pages-in-the-navbar](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-menu-has-a-limit-of-49-links-of-pages-in-the-navbar) * I’ve tried any/all suggestions from these threads, and no luck. I noticed that a number of other people in these threads also seem to have hit a wall. * Any thoughts on how to proceed? Any help appreciated!

My host (NFSN) suggested I add the following code to my .htaccess file: * php_value max_input_vars 2000 * And it worked! Hopefully this can help others with the same issue. * [TheMagicDonJuan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/themagicdonjuan/) * (@themagicdonjuan) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-menu-custom-menu-limits/#post-2725469) * Thank [@joelsburg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joelsburg/)! * I Added * > php_value max_input_vars 2000 * to the top line in my .htaccess file and I also had to disable the **Google XML Sitemap** plugin for it to work for me. * Recently moved a wordpress site from one server to another server. Once I went to edit the menu navigation it would not let me add more than 90 pages/subpages/ childpages/etc. in total. Searched the web and found several solutions to fixing the problem including the Suhosin. Unfortunately getting a hold of my server company and having them change it was not a viable option at the time. * [djamelk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/djamelk/) * (@djamelk) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-menu-custom-menu-limits/#post-2725472) * [@joelsburg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joelsburg/) you rock man, did the same and it worked for me. * Thanks a LOT ! * [Natarajan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/natarajanknr/) * (@natarajanknr) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-menu-custom-menu-limits/#post-2725473) * I’m building a WordPress site with a large menu structure (above 100 items).
