Thanks @jplew that did the trick! However I wasn’t getting any PHP Warnings in my error log – in fact I’m getting no errors when I save the form which is strange.
Initially I thought my solution of deleting and re-adding entries worked but I hit the same brick wall a few days later. I had come across max_input_vars previously but it was commented out in my PHP.INI so naively assumed it was Unlimited. Here’s what I’ve added in my .htaccess to fix the issue:
php_value max_input_vars 3000
php_value max_input_time 120
php_value max_execution_time 60
I’ll have to keep an eye on it but hopefully 3000 is high enough to avoid this problem occurring in the future.
Thanks for all the help guys
Chris.
Hi guys,
I came across this problem on my site today. We’ve been building the site over the past 2-3 weeks so we’re using the latest version of WP (3.6) and all the latest ACF, ACF Options, ACF Gallery, ACF Repeater, ACF Flex Content Plugins.
I went through the same steps as @retorial so adding a new page (custom post type post in my case) with the same custom fields block I setup in ACF. The new page saves the data correctly.
I did a bit of debugging. Like retorial I was getting no errors on save. I disabled the other plugins we use (WordPress SEO, TinyMCE Advanced, Responsive Lightbox, and Gravity Forms). Still no joy. I tried activating the twentythirteen theme, and then twentytwelve theme. Still nothing.
Then I deleted a repeater field row from the page that wasn’t working and saved the page. Then Added a new repeater field row and saved. This worked. The page that wasn’t working now works.
I need to test this further and make sure it doesn’t break again but all appears to be OK at the moment. It doesn’t however answer why there is a problem.
I’ve got a backup of the database pre the above fix. Happy to package the database up for ACF Team to investigate it further.
