Support » Fixing WordPress » Browser crashes when saving long menus

  • We have really a big menu (around 300 menu items and still growing).

    Take a look at “Find your jurisdiction” drop down menu on the top left.

    We use “dropdown menus plugin
    Eg. If there are 10 sub pages for a particular jurisdiction, they all become sub-menus for that jurisdiction.
    We tweaked the plugin in such a way that it doesn’t show the submenus.

    Now, the problem is when we add new pages to this big menu, it crashes the browser and take around 5 mins to save.

    Is there anyway we could optimise this?

    Thanks,
    Venkat

    Hi Venkat,

    have you tried using an unmodified version of this plugin to test it’s not any changes you have been making to it that has caused these issues?

    I would try that first.

    The plugin also has a dedicated support forum and it might be good to ask this question there too http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/dropdown-menus

    Hi Stuart,
    Yes, I have tried un-modified version on plugin, before editing it. There were no issues.

    But we started to face this problem (menus taking time to load and save) only after we were forced to change the max_input_vars variable to more than 3000 in php.ini to support longer menu items.
