WordPress 404 error

[climateh]

Hi - I'm trying to run WordPress and am getting a strange 404/500 error when editing menus. It looks like an Ajax problem. See the screenshots below for the error in the standard theme and another one. Looking at previous discussions this may be due to the mod_security settings?

Or maybe it is related to php.ini settings that need to be changed for large menus?

from https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14134

Add

max_input_vars = 4000
php_value max_input_vars = 5000

to

php.ini

Hope you can help! I'm very impressed by x10.

Hi,

I took a quick look at our server error logs, and it looks like there were a few instances today where /wp-admin/nav-menus.php has failed to load due to the number of fields sent exceeding 1000. It is fairly unusual for a script to legitimately require more than a thousand arguments, and unfortunately, this isn't something we would be able to lift on free hosting.

Thank you,

That's totally fair. My problem is that I'm totally happy with a much smaller WordPress menu than what the demo content for the theme provides - in fact the error came from when I was trying to delete elements from the menu. Is there any chance for a temporary lifting of the max_input_vars? If not I think I can figure out a workaround (e.g. creating a separate menu and just ignoring the demo one).
