 * Hi there, I am unable to add new items to my menu. It’s a large menu, so I had
   the post_max size increased to 3000. But still I can’t add anything. Any ideas?
 * The menu can be seen at the top of boshire.co.za/home

 * **[@mikeschafer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikeschafer/)**, Try this…
 * **Solution1:**
    – Login to your web hosting control panel or connect to ftp, 
   and then go to wp-admin directory, create a new file, called `php.ini`, and paste
   the below code to it.
 * `max_input_vars = 6000`
 * **Solution 2:**
    – Login to your web hosting control panel or connect to ftp,
   and right click to edit the `.htaccess` file (located in the root of your WordPress
   installation), and paste the below code to it.
 * `php_value max_input_vars 6000`
 * Let me know how it goes.

 * Yes you were right! Thank you so much. max_input_vars = 6000 works beautifully
