 * Hi,
 * max_input_vars can only be changed from php.ini and htaccess files
 * This Plugin is to edit wp-config.php file only
 * That says you cannot set max_input_vars using this Plugin, try to find any other
   plugin that allows you to change htaccess file
 * NOTE: Shared host almost disable setting max_input_vars from htaccess too, so
   you need to check with your shared host provider before trying to edit htaccess
   file
 * Hope that helps
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * Following on the topic of the Max Input Vars, I contacted Bluehost who claimed
   to have changed the value to 3000, but I do not see that reflected in the WordPress
   settings, where is it still 1000. What should I do? Am I supposed to update something
   also from the WordPress level?
 * Thanks,

 * Hello,
 * I believe there is nothing to do anything if its not being fixed by your host
   provider however you might try to set it from htaccess file if its not worked
   then they just CLAIMED and you might contact them again and you don’t then need
   to do anything else, they must set it from their side
 * You might try add the following line in .htaccess file
 * php_value max_input_vars 3000
 * If it doesn’t work so you need to contact them again
 * Thanks

 * Thanks for your answer. Yep, it was on their side. I needed to pester them again
   and they changed it. Thanks!
