Menu Madness

Posted on by Admin_TADA

WordPress sheds its menu items.
Can you believe it!
TADA was down for a couple of days because half the top menu was ripped out by unknown causes.  Might have been a PHP problem; might not.  Part of it has been restored, I’m still still working on the rest.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Update.  So, meanwhile, I’ve been doing a little research.  When the menu blew up the other day, it left a trail of red error codes in the menu dashboard stating, “The given object ID is not that of a menu item“.  It seems that WordPress has a built-in limitation.  You can’t really put more than 40 menu items on a WordPress menu … not for long, anyway.  Because the menu can blow up and disintegrate at any time.  This limitation is apparently designed into WordPress.  Which, I think you will agree, is totally insane.

So, before I spend time completely reviewing the whole top menu, and reconstructing the 30 or so missing item tabs that WordPress just decided to turf, I am looking into the possibility of a plugin to stabilize the menu.  Please bear with me.

Update #2.  Okay, folks.  I think I may have found something. The Max Mega Menu plugin site explains why the number of menu items is limited in wordpress, and suggests a way to increase the number of menu items.  It’s nearly my beddy-bye time, so I’m gonna park this how-to link here, and work on it tomorrow.  Wish me luck.
