URL too long

    I looked in another post and found where to change the allowance for characters in the url (maxbuttons/maxbuttons.php) and I increased the number from 200 to 1000. Yet it still won’t allow my full url. It’s a PayPal link generated in s2Member, so it’s pretty long, (but not over 1000 characters). Please advise. Thanks!

    Hi,

    You changed the size in the php file? For that to be effective you probably have to deactivate the plugin and then activate it again for the changes to take effect.

    You can also use phpMyAdmin or equivalent to log into your database and change the field manually or run this query in the database :

    ALTER TABLE wp_maxbuttons_buttons MODIFY url VARCHAR(1000)

    Updating to a new version of the plugin might undo these changes though, so be aware. In a few weeks we’ll be releasing an update to tackle this problem as well.

    Alternatively you can use a ‘url shortening’ service as well for the time being.
