    Hi there,
    I just bought your plugin, but seems that no more than 15 fields can be added to a search form.
    Do you confirm this?
    I didn’t think there was such a limit.
    Please advise.

    Thanks

    Hi Simone

    I believe this is to do with the PHP setting max_input_vars http://php.net/manual/en/info.configuration.php#ini.max-input-vars

    You are exceeding the maximum number of inputs in one HTML form (the edit screen is 1 big form) – as each Search & Filter field, has many options – these quickly add up – and in some servers maxes out this limitation.

    Try to find out what it is from your host, and try increasing it also.

    Thanks

    You can use this plugin to discover what yours is set to:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/system-snapshot-report/

    1000 is the PHP default and will not give you many fields before it is exceeded. This variable also restricts the maximum number menu items.

    Hi guys,
    thanks, you found the problem.
    I’ve increased the setting in .htaccess and now everything is ok.

    Thanks
