 * Hello!
    I’m getting the error:
 * > You are over the limit of PHP max_num_fields! (1061 of 1000)
   >  Please increase
   > the value by adding php_value max_input_vars [NUMBER OF INPUT VARS] in your
   > htaccess or contact your hoster. Otherwise your form can not be saved correct.
 * I added this to my htaccess in the directory that my WP site runs in:
 * > php_value max_input_vars 6000
 * But I still got the error, and phpinfo(); still indicated that the limit was 
   1000.
    I tried the solution described here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-max-input-vars2000](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-max-input-vars2000)
   But again, nothing changed. Any suggestions? many thanks! Brian

 * Hi Brian,
 * you should ask your hosting company for that. Maybe they don’t allow this settings
   for security reasons.

 * Thank you!
    I was able to adjust the setting. In case it’s helpful to others,
   in my case, I needed to set the max_input_vars in a phprc file ([http://wiki.dreamhost.com/PHP.ini#Adding_a_phprc_file_through_Filezilla](http://wiki.dreamhost.com/PHP.ini#Adding_a_phprc_file_through_Filezilla)).
