You'll need to contact your server administrator and ask him to exclude your machform folder from the mod security filter.</p> <p>In some cases, you can disable the mod security filter by adding ".htaccess" file into your machform folder and put these lines into the file:</p> <pre><code>SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST Off</code></pre> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/problems-saving-form#post-22875 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 10:07:55 +0000 loetv 22875@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hello Yuniar, I have the same problem the 5000 max input didn´t work !,<br /> Does it have to be with the number of entries or fields ? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/problems-saving-form#post-21598 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 10:34:52 +0000 yuniar 21598@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>There is a new default setting introduced since PHP 5.3.x that could cause this issue (previous versions won't affected). The setting called "max_input_vars" and set a certain limit that affect the bulk import functionality.</p> <p>To prevent this from happening again in the future, you'll need to edit the PHP configuration file (php.ini) on your server and set this value:</p> <p><strong>max_input_vars = 5000</strong></p> <p>That should increase the limit from the default (the default is 1000). </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/problems-saving-form#post-21596 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 01:45:28 +0000 vickiwatson 21596@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I've had this problem off and on. When adding items in a checkbox group, when I go to save the form, sometimes it saves, but often not - very frustrating. </p> <p>Save on bulk insert almost never works.</p> <p>When I add each item manually that usually but not always works.</p> <p>Sometimes I even try to add one item, save, add the next item, save again, but even that doesn't always work.</p> <p>It doesn't seem like there could be a problem with my host/server if it works sometimes and not others. </p>
