Server Requirements

Depending on your hosting environment, you may or may not have trouble with certain aspects of Visual Form Builder Pro.

Minimum Requirements

  1. PHP version 5.4 or greater
  2. MySQL version 5.5 or greater
  3. WordPress version 4.4.0 or greater
  4. The wp-content folder permissions should be set to 0755 or 0750

Here are some guidelines on certain web server settings that may alleviate such problems. All settings can be changed in your  php.ini file.

post_max_size 50M
upload_max_filesize 50M
memory_limit 64
max_input_vars 1000
max_input_nesting_level 64

Important note about max_input_vars

For very large forms, you may find that your fields are not saving properly. Indications of this are that adding a field does not save the name or certain options and settings do not save after clicking the Save button.

If this is the case for you, please increase the value for max_input_vars in your server’s php.ini file

Your server may be protected by Suhosin. These are other settings to check for.

suhosin.post.max_vars 1000
suhosin.request.max_vars 1000
suhosin.get.max_vars 100
