 * I am trying to delete some rows/items, but every time I try, I get this message:
   [
   an error occurred while processing this directive]
 * I can’t do anything with this table now. Is there a maximum number of items I
   can have in a table?
 * Thanks,
    Tracy

 * hello, the number of rows depends on the configuration of your server. Specifically
   depending on the parameter “max_input_vars”.

 * This really comes up a lot.
 * [@extendyourweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/extendyourweb/) I’ve deleted
   your offer to login to your user’s site. I’m am 100% sure you mean well but please
   _never ask for credentials on these forums._
 * Now for the why: The internet is a wonderful place full of very nice people and
   a few very bad ones. I’m sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some
   ones keys to your house you are trusting they wont steal anything. Likewise the
   person who takes the keys is now responsible for the house FOREVER.
 * If something was to go wrong, then you the author may well legally become liable
   for damages, which they would not normally have been as their software is provided
   without warranty.
 * Please be aware that repeatedly asking for credentials will result in us asking
   you to repeatedly stop before escalating up to the plugins team.
