    I am using Post Snippets Version 2.3.3 and WordPress 3.9.1.

    I think I recently updated both and now I cannot add or update any Snippets. I can add one new snippet which shows up as untitled, but cannot rename or add text when I try to save.

    I tried importing an older Snippets file and have the same problem.
    There is no code in my snippets casing problems as old exports have the same problem.

    Post Snippets is great plugin, but it is not working with WordPress 3.9.1. on my computer.

    Any suggestions ???????????????

    Hi Ric,

    Do you have a large collection of Snippets?
    Then it might be the same issue as divehappy had here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/snippets-not-saving?replies=5

    Check message number 4, adjusting the php.ini file will in that case fix it.

    If you do not have a large collection of snippets, then feel free to send me an export of your snippets, if you are able to, and I will take a look.

    Cheers,
    Johan

    I do have a large selection. I imported a copy of the exported snippets from Feb 2014. I started to add a few since Feb until it stopped letting me change things and did this many times to isolate problem snippets. I recently updated a snippet with some new postcard retailers. I was not able save or add after that.

    Some snippets that had <em> </em> were stopping me from updating.
    I removed all <em> </em> from all snippets.(may have been something else)

    Some snippets that had a WOO Commerce short code were causing problems. (may have been something else)

    This caused a problem. Specifying the margins may be a problem
    <div align="center"><img <strong>style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 8px;"</strong> alt="arrow-bar[1]" src="http://whiterockbeach.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/arrow-bar1.gif" width="400" height="6" /></div> <strong>[product_category category="postcards" per_page="100" order="SKU"]</strong>

    I have it working right now. I just emailed my provider to change the php.ini file and change the max_input_vars value from 1000 to 2000.

    I have some ideas for features for Post Snippets I will put in a separate post.

    EXPORTING YOUR Post Snippets as dated backup might help you go back to a time when things were working and maybe trouble-shoot what caused a problem like I did.

    Thanks for helping!

    I am NOT a programmer, just an user of WordPress.

    Here are some suggestions for new features for Post Snippets that would be useful:

    • The ability to sort the Post Snippets is what is most needed for users with large snippets
    • If the user could click and drag the individual snippet to sort the order would be useful.
    • Maybe 10 definable labels which could be used to sort the snippets.
    • A sort button – name – label – date . . . etc
    • The definable labels could also be layered tab pages. Layering the snippets could reduce the size of the popup window.
    • The labels or tabs could be colour coded.
    • A link to switch from full view (all snippets – what you have now) or tab view.
    • A layered TAB view would eliminate scrolling
    • A snippet counter – display the number of snippets near the top of the screen.
    • If the Snippets could be exported as an EXCEL file allowing the user to add, delete and modify in EXCEL and upload. Or some other type of file.
    • For people with large amounts of snippets, the above features would be an asset.
    • When someone Exports their snippets if the file name would add the date automatically ie:
      post-snippets-export-2014-06-13.zip
      post-snippets-export-2014-06-14.zip
      post-snippets-export-2014-06-15.zip
