Hi,
thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble!
Very likely this is due to a change in the default configuration in PHP 5.3 that was done recently. This can unfortunately cause the troubles that you describe, especially in large tables.
Please take a look at http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/plugin-wp-table-reloaded-cant-saveupdate-long-tables where you can find ideas on this.
Re-installing a fresh copy will not help here.
Best wishes,
Tobias
I increased the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT to 128MB. And as far as I can tell, Suhosin isn’t installed on my server: http://www.yourownhealthandfitness.org/reloadtest.php.
There doesn’t seem to be a limit to the number of rows in the tables I’m uploading–I’ve got a table with over 600 rows and 7 columns. The only thing going wrong is that settings and changes to the content are lost.
Where to look next?
Hi,
I was actually thinking of the “max_input_vars” variable that is discussed in that thread. This seems to be set to 1000 in your case as well, which seems to be too low.

T,
Thanks. I put the line php_value max_input_vars 3000 in my htaccess file, but when I run phpinfo.php it tells me the local value remains 1000.
I found a reference that said php_value is deprecated and that I should use php.ini. I don’t have control over that, but placed a file named php.ini file in my root with the line max_input_vars = 3000. Still doesn’t show up in phpinfo.php list.
Because of my host’s configuration, I have to include the following lines in my htaccess in order to use PHP 5.
Action php-cgi /cgi-bin/php53
AddHandler php-cgi .php
Again, from what I understand, using php.ini is required when PHP is run through a cgi script, as in my case. I’m afraid I don’t know enough to do anything creative with this PHP issue.
Hi,
unfortunately, the configuration of such PHP config variables depends on several factors, like server software and configuration. Due to that I’m unable to help with exact steps on this.
Your best choice is therefore to contact your webhost company and ask them for assistance in changing that PHP config variable.

Hello Tobias,
After protracted communication with my web host, I was able to determine that
1. they don’t use Suhosin
2. that increasing max_input_vars to 10000 changed nothing
I still can’t get settings to persist.
What next?
Hi,
ah, that’s too bad. 🙁
Unfortunately, I’m out of ideas here… These two things have been the reason for this issue in the past, and I’m not really aware of other fixes 🙁 Sorry.
Don’t forget that the max_input_vars value should be higher than the product of rows times columns for your table. Is that fulfilled?
Regards,
Tobias
