 * Hello David,
 * I hope this message finds you well. Firstly, I want to express my gratitude for
   the fantastic plugin you’ve provided, which has greatly enhanced the user experience
   on our e-commerce website.
 * Recently, I attempted to add a new product with similar functionality by duplicating
   an existing one that worked seamlessly with your plugin. However, this time, 
   I encountered an issue. Each time I modify the images, product name, and other
   details, and then publish the page, the plugin seems to forget everything and
   removes all the previously uploaded images, or sometimes half of them. It appears
   as though the plugin is unable to save the new changes. I’ve tried using various
   image formats, but the problem persists. I’m unsure of the source of this issue.
 * It’s important to note that your plugin continues to work flawlessly for several
   products that were uploaded a month or more ago. However, it’s not functioning
   as expected for the new product.
 * I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter. Your help
   would be immensely valuable.
 * Thank you,

 * Hi thanks for the feedback.
 * The issue you’re experiencing with the plugin on your e-commerce website might
   be due to a server setting called “max input vars.” This setting limits how much
   data your server can handle at once. When adding a new product, if the data exceeds
   this limit, the server might not save all the changes you make, like images and
   product details.
 * To fix this, you can increase the `max_input_vars` value in your server’s PHP
   configuration (`php.ini`). This might involve finding the `php.ini` file on your
   server, changing the `max_input_vars` value to a higher number (like 10000 or
   15000), saving the file, and then restarting your web server.
 * or if you have cpanel you may change it there also. Otherw
 * If you’re not sure how to do this, it’s a good idea to contact your web hosting
   provider for help.
 * if this solves your issue please don’t forget to review my plugin I really appreciate
   it.
 * cheers,
 * David

 * Thank you so much for your help.
 * While waiting for your response, I tried something, and it worked. I’d like to
   share that instead of going with existing products and duplicating them while
   changing the images for different variants, I attempted creating a new product
   from scratch, and it worked well. The issue is that this process takes about 
   two hours, as I have to input all the information from scratch, with a significant
   risk of making errors. Consequently, I would like to go back to the duplication
   method, even though it’s currently not working.
 * With this information, do you think you might know where the problem is coming
   from and how to resolve it? Thanks once again
