On the actual sites, the max\_input\_vars is 10000.  
In DevKinsta it is 1000.  
On settings pages with lots of options, this can lead to data loss.  
It would help that the PHP settings mirror those of actual Kinsta servers.

Any update here? or maybe we can manually edit the Max Input Vars but I do not see any option?

Hi @Digital_Hub_Design, thanks for reaching out! The default `max_input_vars` has not been modified yet, but you can quickly change this on per site basis with the PHP.ini Editor which is at the very bottom of the Site Info page:

As an update to this thread, we have also increased max\_inpu\_vars from 1000 to 5000 as of DevKinsta 2.7.0. You can still change this from the php.ini settings, though: [DevKinsta Releases (Minor) - #12 by Kevin](https://community.kinsta.com/t/devkinsta-releases-minor/371/12)
