I'm trying to change the access settings on forms. (access 2.8.12)
But it is not accepting/saving the changes.
I tried converting back to older versions (10&11) and still the same problem.
Changes to post type work fine.
It was working a few days ago, I believe before I updated WordPress & Toolset.
Another few things I noticed with the access settings.
- User Forms and relationship forms work fine. So its only Post forms that I can not change the settings on.
- Could the amount of post forms that I have be an issue ?
I did notice in the console when trying to set the permissions that there is an error 404 on the admin-ajax file.
Would t be ok if I took a copy of the site so that I can run some tests here locally to see if the same issue occurs ? If it does then I will need to pass this ticket to our 2nd tier supporters for further debugging.
I have identified the problem and made a temporary workaround.
Apparently there is a capacity limit with your current design, and I have reached it. At first I thought it might be the total amount of forms, but it is actually the total amount of items selected, that is the cause.
By reducing the items selected on other forms I was able to add that to my new forms and thus create a temporary fix.
Since your current design for Access settings of post forms no longer works for me. I suggest maybe replacing your one big long row of all post forms, into smaller groups, say based on post type.
Looking forward to your thoughts on this issue and hopefully a quick solution as I will be adding more forms soon.
Happy to see that you're able to come up with a temporary fix, however can you explain what you're referring to when you say Total number of items selected.
Is it that you mean how many permission checkbox have been selected over the various form types, such as Post forms and User forms?
Please clarify perhaps I can setup a temporary test here. Also could you set the temporary access back to admin until we've finished identifying the issue and able to replicate.
Yes. I mean the total amount of permission checkboxs that have been selected in the post forms section only, as user forms had no problem and are under a different save option.
Your set back up, and if you test on my site, use the "venues edit" form, which is the 4th and 5th form on the list.
I have freed up 9 spots (amount of items left that can be clicked on and saved after that it will not save any more). So if you click on 9 different permissions and save, it will work add 1 more and it will not save.
I tried to log in again to grab an export of your forms and permissions to setup another local test but it would appear that the admin privileges have been disabled again.
This is the problem :
- I counted all the permissions that have been selected, including the admin (which are selected by default) and came up with 998. Unless I missed a few in the count it looks like the max limit is 1,000.
Yes I can confirm, that changing the value for max_input_vars works.
However according to the 2nd answer its not the proper way to fix the issue. So you can use that method to fix the issue or as i mentioned earlier, break down the post forms section into smaller portions (by post types as an example) with more than 1 save button.
I will wait for your updated version that will fix this problem.
