WORDPRESS MENU ITEM LIMIT

So I had a request to add a super big menu in WordPress, and some sub menu’s and then after configuring the menu and clicking save half my menu disappeared. Apparently there is a limit that is set.

This limit is not imposed by WordPress but by your web hosting server because of some security reasons. In PHP, there is a thing called post vars that controls menu items. By default maximum post vars are much limited as most of the websites require only a few menu items.

It is very easy to increase number of post vars using php.ini

All you need to do is adding a piece of code in your php.ini file. Keep in mind that different web hosts support different kind of methods and we have listed all here;

Increasing max_input_vars

To increase input_vars add the following code in your php.ini file

max_input_vars = 3000;

Note – Create a text file name php.ini and add this code to that file and place this file in your WordPress root. If your host doesn’t support custom php.ini file get their support to add this code ot php.ini file

If your server is using Suhosin

If your hosting server has Suhosin running, it will affect your WordPress menu limit and you need to add the following code in your php.ini file;

suhosin.post.max_vars = 5000

suhosin.request.max_vars = 5000

Other methods

If above given workarounds don’t work, you can also try some other;

1.Add php.ini in wp-admin folder

Create a php.ini file with the below given code and put it into wp-admin folder

max_input_vars = 3000;

This is the one that worked for me!

2.Add .user.ini file

Create a file .user.ini and add the following code to it and try placing it in WordPress root or in wp-admin folder;

max_input_vars = 5000;

Hopefully one of the method should work for you.

How to Create a File List at a Command Prompt
1. Click Start, point to Programs, and then click MS-DOS Prompt (or Command Prompt in Windows NT).
2. At a command prompt, locate the drive that contains the folder whose contents you want to list. For example, if you want to create a text file that contains a list of the contents of a folder on drive C, type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:
  c:
3. At a command prompt, locate the folder whose contents you want to list. For example, if you want to create a text file that contains a list of the contents in the Windows folder on drive C, type the following commands at a command prompt, and press ENTER after you type each command:
  cd\
  cd windows
4. Type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER, where filename is the name of the text file that you are creating:
  dir > filename.txt
  
  For example, if you want to create a file named Windowsfolderlist.txt, type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:
  
  dir > windowsfolderlist.txt
  
  NOTE: The text file that you create is located in the folder that you are in when you follow these steps. In the earlier example, the Windowsfolderlist.txt file is located in the Windows folder.
5. Use a text editor, such as Notepad, to view or print this file.
Try other commands like:

dir source /s >> destination.txt

e.g. dir c:\ /s >> “c:\users\<username>\desktop\list.txt”

Or tree /A /F > tree.txt

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE AND UNSUCCESSFUL PEOPLE

AUTHOR: ahmedv // CATEGORY: Careers, Management

There are two types of people: successful people and unsuccessful people. There are distinct actions people who are successful take that probably keep their counterparts from achieving.

Successful people often do not hold grudges and they do not allow themselves to get distracted by short term enjoyment. An unsuccessful person will spend a lot of time doing things that are extremely unproductive like going out more than they should or binge watching a TV show. Successful people keep their minds stimulated through engaging in new topics and ideas.

Successful people realize that they are only successful because of the network, big or small, that they have created a long the way. Some unsuccessful people rarely pay respect to those who helped them during their life. Successful people often know how to persevere and strive for more while unsuccessful people do not set goals and they do not keep organized like they claim to.

Successful people build up the world around them. They compliment and encourage others. Those that don’t seldom have much to show; they can often criticize and portray themselves in negatives away.

While these two types of people lead their lives in two greatly different ways, they do have something in common; they try. Being successful or unsuccessful does not define you. As long as you keep going in whatever you do, you’ll achieve more than you could have the day before.

Go on – Be Successful!

CITRIX – GOOGLE CHROME – LAUNCH.ICA FILE

AUTHOR: ahmedv // CATEGORY: Development, Mac OS X, Windows

Presenting Problem

You click to launch your applications in Google Chrome and the application does not launch. Instead, you see a launch.ica file downloaded from Google Chrome or the launch.ica file is opened up by some incompatible program on your computer (such as by another web browser or a Microsoft Office application).

Background

The launch.ica file is a Citrix file used by your web browser to virtualize your Citrix applications. This file is usually downloaded silently from Chrome and opened automatically by the Citrix application installed on your local computer. However, a recent update to Chrome has changed this usual process.

Google released the Version 42.0 update to Chrome on April 15, 2015. As a part of this update, Chrome now handles certain web content differently. For Citrix , Instead of downloading and automatically launching the launch.ica file like in the past, Chrome now just downloads the file instead. Depending on other local settings, your computer may try to automatically open the launch.ica file with an incompatible program as well.

Most users have Chrome set to update automatically, hence your Chrome may have already updated to the latest version without your knowledge.

Solution

To resolve, we need to tell Google Chrome to continue to automatically open the launch.ica files instead of just download them.
1. Attempt to launch a Citrix application
2. When you see the launch.ica file appear at the bottom of your web browser, click on the little arrow next to it and choose Always open files of this type
3. Restart Google Chrome
4. Log back into Citrix and launch your application again
Additional Steps

If the above changes did not resolve your issue, then the Google Chrome update may have affected the default program that your computer uses to open .ica file types. As a result, you need to adjust the default program that opens .ica files on your local computer.

For Windows Users:
1. Launch the Control Panel
2. Open the Default Programs menu (this is under Programs if you are in Category View)
3. Choose to Associate a file type or protocol with a program
4. Find the .ica file type and choose to Change program…
5. Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\ICA Client (you can paste this in the Open with… window)
  - Depending on your computer settings, the appropriate directory might be C:\Program Files\Citrix\ICA Client if the (x86) directory doesn’t exist
6. Select wfcrun32 from the above directory to set the Citrix Connection Manager as the default program to launch .ica files
7. Restart Google Chrome
8. Log back into Citrix and launch your application again
For Mac Users:
1. Locate the launch.ica file downloaded from Chrome (typically in your Downloads folder)
2. Right-click (control + click) on the launch.ica file and select Open With > Other
3. Browse to your Applications
4. Select the Citrix Receiver,check the Always Open With checkbox, and click Open
