I seem to have resolved this with further searching by adding the below to the htaccess file for anoyone else having the same problem
php_value max_input_vars 5000
php_value post_max_size 260M
php_value max_input_time 60
php_value memory_limit 280M
php_value max_input_nesting_level 256
php_value upload_max_filesize 256M
php_value max_file_uploads 100`
