Fix “Better Search Replace” plugin “Max Page Size Error

WordPress plugins Nov 4, 2019 by Johnny 3 Comments

An error occurred processing your request. Try decreasing the “Max Page Size”, or contact support.

  • Are you getting this annoying error? (Happens often with big database tables.)
  • I’ll show you how to fix it!

 

I don’t even waste my time messing with the Max Page Size setting anymore (it doesn’t work), the only way to fix is to increase your PHP memory limit as high as you can. How high you have to go depends on how heavy your website is. For some, 512MB is enough. For others, you may need more. It helps if you have server access.

What if you don’t have server access to raise your PHP memory limit high enough?

  • Try doing only one table at a time. (This should have be your immediate attempt anyway.)
  • Or try using the “Search & Replace” plugin by Inpsyde GmbH
