 * I have a site that I’m converting over from Joomla. However, the current main
   menu has 300+ items. I’m not able to have this in WordPress, only perhaps 75 –
   100 I think.
 * I’ve increased PHP memory limit to over 256k but yet I’m still not able add/save
   new pages to a menu. I don’t want to have 5-10 menu instances, only 1 if I can.

 * Hi,
 * This is caused by a PHP setting for how many POST/GET variables is allowed, you
   need to modify the `max_input_vars` setting for PHP in this case.
 * Now, with 100 menu items, that sounds pretty excessive, I’m glad you are cutting
   it down from 300 but are you sure you are going about this the right way? From
   a user point of view, that many menu items, I’d be using google to search the
   site, perhaps cutting menu items and using a smart search bar with autocomplete/
   ajax suggestions would be better? (Just my random musings on the end there 🙂)

 * Changing vars setting to 4000 did the trick
