12. Why do I get a “Link Expired” error when saving menu items?

This usually happens when your server’s PHP configuration limits are too low.

When you add many menu items (especially products), WordPress sends a large number of form inputs to the server.

If the server cannot process them due to low limits, it triggers a “Link Expired” error.

The most common causes are:

  • max_input_vars  too low (default is often 1000)
  • max_execution_time  too low
  • post_max_size  too small
  • memory_limit  too low

Large menus can easily exceed 1000 input variables.
