The max_input_vars directive can be configured in .htaccess, php.ini or wp-config.php file. We recommend to increase default value to 3000. But if you have a lot of menu items try 5000 or higher.
You may receive a message such as “Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded” or “Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded”. This means that it is taking to longer for a process to complete and it is timing out. There are a number of ways to fix this error.
Should you not feel comfortable in trying the above methods, or the above did not work for you, you need to contact your hosting support about having them increase your PHP values.
