Gradebook only listing 4 students per page

Gradebook only listing 4 students per page

We have one course in which the gradebook is only listing 4 students per page.  This isn't an issue in any other courses.   I went into the settings and preferences and marked it to list 30 students per page.  But it still will not change from 4.   What setting am I missing that caused this to happen...any insight?

Thanks in advance!

This happens when there are a lot of assignments.  The gradebook shrinks to allow for the input of a lot of grades (which is limited by a php setting).  You can fix this by upping the number of input variables in php.  max_input_vars is the setting, I believe.

That number should be 2 times the largest number of students times the larges number of grade items and 4 times if anybody uses quickfeedback.  It can grow pretty large, ours is set to 20,000.  Default is 1,000.
