I have just come across a situation where someone had A LOT of ingredients (something like 200+) in the “add ingredients” extension and tried to add some more without success.
If you find that you cannot add any more ingredients, you will probably have to edit/increase your php.ini from “max_input_vars” (if you have suhosin installed you might have to edit the equivalent there)
Just thought I’d mention it here in case someone has this particular problem
