Hi All,

Getting this error warning but unable to locate the file that it is refering to.
WARNING: Your PHP max_input_vars setting is set to a low value. Your current setting is 1000; the default setting is 1000. Based on your current number of forums, a minimum setting of 4320 is recommended. Your forum may have issues such as a blank configuration file, missing settings, or unexpected script behavior if you continue. Please see the "Issues with the PHP 'max_input_vars' Setting" entry on the UBBDev Wiki for more information.

Any help would be appreciated.

This is a PHP Setting that the Test Script is warning you about; your web host would likely have to update for you, unless you can edit values in your PHP.ini through your cPanel. The UBBDev slug about this is available at UBB.threads System Requirements Test · Wiki - PHP Max Input Vars

You can read about this issue Issues with the PHP 'max_input_vars' Setting · Article

In short the more forums you have the more variables your configuration update will hold when you update the control panel, after the default 2000 is overtaken (I think about 20 some odd forums) it won't submit a complete set of variables.

Hi Gizmo,

Thanks for the assistance with this one.

Have had the file increased by the hosting company and now the message is not coming up anymore. One less problem to solve.
