    Blank fields after saving settings

    I upgraded to vBSEO 3.3.0 RC2 and after saving the settings, fields go blank. It happens even to the fields, I don't touch prior to pushing the "save all settings" button.

    Second problem is that forum home is directed to blogs after the upgrade.

    Thank you

    Hello,

    which settings are affected? There is a known issues with Suhosin patch for PHP that limits a number of variables submitted with the form, don't you have suhosin on your server?

    Thanks for a quick reply,

    Settings after "URL Rewrite Settings" go blank. I'm on a shared host so I don't know much about the server configuration and suhosin for that matter, but I think that must be it. Does that mean I need to change hosting?

    Also the blog as the first page of my forum is also a bit weird, what might be causing that?

    Please try to add this to the top of .htaccess file:
    Code:
    suhosin.request.max_vars 2048
    suhosin.post.max_vars 2048
    Also the blog as the first page of my forum is also a bit weird, what might be causing that?
    This is related to the empty setting for the blog URL format.

    Sorry, please change them to:
    Code:
    php_value suhosin.request.max_vars 2048
    php_value suhosin.post.max_vars 2048

    Now that the syntax is correct, I still get 500 internal server error. Perhaps my host does not allow php.ini overrides? I'm also pretty sure now that its suhosin causing me problems because according to phpinfo these values are set at 200.

    In this case you should contact your host to increase those settings for you.
    You can also try to create php.ini file in forums folder with directives mentioned in post #4, but that might not work too.

    Creating a php.ini with:
    Code:
    suhosin.request.max_vars = 2048
    suhosin.post.max_vars = 2048
    Did the trick and all the settings save now just fine.

    Now the problem with the homepage redirecting to blog still persists. I guess it is not caused be suhosin.

    I also imported the all.xml settings I had prior to the upgrade and they seem fine to me.

    Ideas?

    Please try to select Preset #1 for Blog URLs in vBSEO CP and apply it.

    After selecting the default preset and importing old settings, the problem went away.

    Thank you for a great support
