I have a WordPress website, and I wanted to install a plugin in it, but it shows the error in “increase max_input_vars in php.ini.”
I am confused with PHP max input vars: how it works, and how to increase the PHP max input vars in WordPress and from Cpanel.

PHP Max input vars limits the number of input variables your server can use for a single function. If your website is WordPress, I suggest you put the value of PHP max_input_vars: up to 3000. Usually, the value max_input_vars is set to 1000 by default.
You can change the PHP max_input_vars value in the .htaccess or the php.ini file in the WordPress directory. Follow the steps to change the PHP max_input_vars:
Top 3 Methos to update PHP max_input_vars:
Update PHP Max_Input_Vars in .htaccess
Find the .htaccess file in the root of your wordpress website directory and add the below line at last:
Update PHP max_input_vars: in php.ini file
Find the php.ini file in the root folder of your WordPress. If you do not find the php.ini file, you can create the php.ini file in the root folder of WordPress installation and write the below line and save.
Update PHP max_input_vars in wp-config.php File
Find the wp-config.php file in the root folder of your WordPress Installation. Just open it and write the below code and save.

When setting up some of the WordPress themes or plugins, you may see this kind of error messages. It asks you to increase PHP Max_Input_Vars in your Cpanel or theme. You may go through several options like htaccess, php.ini, wp-config or Cpanel. I usually use htaccess and wp-config method.
htaccess method
Add this code in htaccess file
