15.5. Fixing unsaved settings problem

When you save site settings, sometimes not all of the settings are saved. This is because there are too many settings in your site settings and your server is configured in such a way that does not allow that many settings to be saved. To fix the problem, do the following:

  1. Open php.ini file
  2. Increase max_input_vars option’s [1] value
  3. Increase post_max_size option’s [2] value if it is too low such as a few kilobytes
  4. Save php.ini file
  5. Restart your web server.
  6. Try to save the settings again. If not all of the settings are saved again, go to the first step and increase the values again. Repeat this process until all of the settings are saved.

If you do not know how to do these or do not want to do these, because the plugin’s support does not cover server configuration, you can reach out to your hosting provider’s support team to do them for you.
