ParticipantSome of my custom fields have stopped saving. I've encountered this before, so I assumed the issue is related to the PHP setting
max_input_vars-- However, then I checked my sites phpinfo andmax_input_varsis already set to 100,000 ! https://cln.sh/j14ktNgQSome of the fields are saving, but some are not. The issue started after I ran updates:
* Theme: Twenty Nineteen - Updated from version 2.5 to 2.6
* Plugin: Meta Box - Updated from version 5.6.17 to 5.8.2
* Plugin: MB AIO - Updated from version 1.19.1 to 1.23.1
* WP Core: Updated from version 5.9.7 to 6.3.2Here is what I've tried:
* increasingmax_input_vars(currently it is 100,000)
* checking 'Save Field Value' (true on all fields)
* plugin conflicts (disabling all other plugins does not resolve the issue)
* using default theme (does not resolve the issue)
* switching custom fields from php code to MB Builder (no effect)Before I go down the path of reverting to previous versions of MB & WP, do you have any other ideas of what the issue might be?
Thank you.
November 7, 2023 at 4:32 PM #43754ParticipantI have new information!
I could only find a few older versions of MB AIO, but I was able to narrow it down a lot.
meta-box-aio-1.21.1 ❌ - did not save
meta-box-aio-1.20.2 ✅ - did save correctlySomewhere between AIO v 1.20.2 and 1.21.1, something changed that seems to be preventing some of my fields from saving. I'm guessing it might have to do with changes to MB Custom Table, as seems to be the only extension I'm using that had significant changes. https://metabox.io/plugins/meta-box-aio/changelog/#:~:text=1.20.2
This might not be entirely a MB problem, as the project I'm working on was my first ever to use MB, so it's very possible I've done something wrong that just happened to work until now 🤷♀️ Here is how I'm creating metaboxes: https://pastebin.com/x3hbhqbx

ModeratorHello Brandon,
What are custom fields that stop saving value on your site? If I remove the revision setting and increase PHP settings
max_input_varsto 500k and I can save field value as well.November 8, 2023 at 4:08 AM #43766ParticipantHi Peter, thanks for the reply.
When I'm using meta-box-aio-1.21.1 any field below line 388 https://pastebin.com/x3hbhqbx fails to save.
But when using meta-box-aio-1.20.2 all fields save with no changes to
max_input_varsor revisionsI've been able to replicate this on Dreamhost shared hosting and Rocket & Flywheel hostings.
November 8, 2023 at 10:07 PM #43771ModeratorHello,
Thanks, I see it works with MB AIO version 1.20.2. I've escalated this issue to the development team to take a look. I will get back to you later.
November 16, 2023 at 1:06 AM #43816ParticipantHi Peter, I have an update.
❌ When using meta-box-aio-1.21.1 on WP 6.3.2 it does not work.
✅ When using meta-box-aio-1.21.1 on WP 6.4.1 it DOES work! 🤷Right now I'm using the latest of everything and it works correctly:
✅ MB 5.8.2 and AIO 1.23.1 and WP 6.4.1Just wanted to let you know. 🙂
November 16, 2023 at 10:02 PM #43821ModeratorGreat. Thanks for letting me know.
