[SOLVED] PHP regular expression limit reached was created by Hisslink

I get this error when I try to edit an item from the frontend:

Error 500: PHP regular expression limit reached (pcre.backtrack_limit)

Does anyone know why this is and how to solve it

See this forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=622839 or simply override your PHP's configuration with:

ini_set('pcre.backtrack_limit', 150000);

If you can use a php.ini or .user.ini file to override PHP settings, then just add:

pcre.backtrack_limit = 150000
