 * Help!!
 * I’m using the menu widget that comes with WP 3.1. It was working fine when I 
   found an error in a custom link menu item (it was “[http://http//www.evolvefish.com&#8221](http://http//www.evolvefish.com&#8221);
   instead of “[http://www.evolvefish.com&#8221](http://www.evolvefish.com&#8221);).
   I corrected the error but when I tried to save it, I got the following error 
   message:
 * > Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/atheistexile/
   > AtheistExile.com/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 82
 * I retried many times, over the next few days, but always got the same result.
 * Finally, I removed the menu item but when I tried to save it I got the following
   message:
 * > Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/atheistexile/
   > AtheistExile.com/wp-includes/nav-menu.php on line 585
 * Does anybody know what causes this problem (and how to fix it)?

 * Oops . . . Title should read “Can NOT update/save menu”.

 * AtheistExile, did you ever figure this issue out? I’m having the same problem
   right now and it’s for a site that I’ve been building up a big prelaunch to and
   is set to go live in 3 days (Friday) with lots of anticipation. I’m really stressing!
 * Any direction you could provide for how you fixed the issue would be appreciated.
   It was working just fine and then all of a sudden started producing the error
   you mention above (showing errors on different lines of different files each 
   time). I have over 130 pages listed in the menu… is that a problem? Is there 
   a max number of menu items you can have? Hoping to hear from you soon!
