Tell us what you are trying to do?
Make one custom field group for all categories of search criteria I want on a search form. All custom field types are set to check boxes, some have many options (20+). A a certain point, the field group won't save any new custom fields, so I had to create a second and third group. I don't mind using this workaround if there is a limit to the amount of fields or labels within a group, but if there isn't I would rather troubleshoot it and fix it early on.
What is the link to your site?
hidden link (this page has the whole list of custom fields, all are separated into three groups on the backend)
Attached screenshot shows backend, where search criteria is split into 3 custom field groups.

Your website server has limitation 1000 on "MaxInputVars", which conducts the problem.
I have tried to increased by editing wp-config.php, .htaccess and php.ini, none of them take effect in your website.

So you will need to check it with your server provider for how to increase PHP max_input_vars limitation in your website.
I will look into it with our server provider, thank you!
