Most likely you’ve run into a new PHP issue that was put in to prevent a specific exploit.
The immediate solution is to filter your matches by match day (if you have match day set up). If you find that you can work with results in smaller blocks, the solution is at the following link:

Let me know if any of that works for you…

Hi LaMonte Forthun. Thanks for your prompt feedback
When the match results did not update for a second time, I tried to update only one result, and that result did not save.
I do not have access to php.ini, and adding php_value max_input_vars 2500 to htaccess file breaks the website.
The number of results you try to update isn’t the problem, what happens is if there is a number of matches that are all listed, they all get updated, not just something new, the system reads through everything, that’s why if you filter by match day, you only have a small subset of matches to work from and the upper limit isn’t reached.
When you say ‘breaks the website’, what does that mean exactly? This setting shouldn’t affect anything else in a negative way, that I know of (which doesn’t mean much…).
The alternative here might be to ask your hosting provider to tweak the php.ini setting for you or look through your control panel, you might have access to it.
Would it be possible for me to get temp access to your admin area that I can look around and see what could be happening?

Hi LaMonte, thanks for the info.
You can mail me on my geemale account, erbinsd, and I will send you login credentials.
I had a look earlier tonight and you’re problem is 100% what I outlined in the linked solution. I have to research the htaccess problem, but I would see if you can get your hosting provider to update the php.ini file for you.

Thank you for looking in to this
The error I get when adding the suggested code to htaccess is:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@domain.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I have logged a ticket to make necessary changes to php.ini
Good information, thanks. Let me know how the php.ini change goes.
Sometimes these kinds of things can be changed through a control panel.

You’re a master and a gentleman LaMonte
php.ini edited and the issue is fixed
Thank you for all the time spent on a project that is not yours.
Happy to help, glad you’re up and running…
Don’t hesitate to jump back on should you run into something else.
