    hi there,
    i have a classified site that i have been running for one month now everything was ok until last friday i tried to make changes to the navigation bar by adding new pages and deleting some old pages but the changes i make seem to have no effect on my site navigation bar, what exactly happens is when i go to Appearance-Menu then i add a page to the menu, as soon as i click on save menu after adding the page, all the pages that were on the menu bar before disappeared including the page i just added and the menu bar automatically displays about 14 pages and out of the 14 pages displayed on the menu bar of my site only 4pages where selected by me the rest of the 10 pages beeing displayed on the menu bar of my site where never selected by me and when i try to delete the excess pages from my wordpress admin area ( Appearance-Menu ) , after deleting the pages and click on SAVE MENU, the same pages i deleted still appears on my site, nothing happends at all,, to conclude any changes i make in trying to edit the menu bar does not take effect , this only happens on the menu bar, the other areas of my site do respond to changes very well, i deactivated all cache plugins i had but still the problem is not solve,,PLEASE HELP im a newbie

    Before all this started, how many menu items did you have?

    Did you try deactivating all your plugins, not just the cache one. If the problem resolves, reactivate your plugins one-by one to try to identify the one that’s causing a conflict. Please post a link to your site.

    What I mean about how many menu items is how many including all the fly-out ones. I count 53. I’ve seen menus fail at 64 menu items because the post array isn’t big enough.

    When you edit a menu in admin, all the data describing your menu items is sent back to the server using the $_POST array. If the array size limit is breached, menu items can get lost or corrupted. The array size is governed my PHP’s max_input_vars settings. Can you find out what your’s is? If its say 1000, try increasing it to 2000.

    To find out your value for max_input_vars, there are various methods, but this plugin may be easiest:
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/host-php-info/

    To increase max_input_vars, its necessary to add a line to php.ini or .htaccess. On shared hosting, some hosts don’t allow their customers to mess with these, so you would need to place a support ticket with your host techs asking for max_input_vars to be set to 2000 on your account.

    If the above turns out to be not the solution, you should go to your theme vendor techs. Support is probably included in the price for commercial thems.
