Large WP 3.0 menu times out and won’t save

by

I have a large menu containing 10 parent items with roughly 7 child items each that I am trying to build using the WP-admin > Appearance > Menus.

I have nearly all the menu items added but now my wp-admin backend won’t save the menu, it keeps timing out and just ending on a blank screen.

I have about 4 more items left to enter but I can’t save the menu anymore.

I have tried increasing the php memory in wp-config.php by adding
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);
but it made no change.

Any tweaks or tips to help me get this menu saved, this is the only thing holding the site up and the client is waiting.

Thanks very much!

You can always try to split your menu into 2 separate menus and then just display them next to each other in your theme. It’s far from perfect and doesn’t help a bit in understanding the root of your problem but it could help.

You can use it as temporary workaround to GTD before deadline and then dig deep into memory issues or whatever causes your trouble…
