There shouldn't be a limit. Are you encountering any console/javascript errors?

yup, i tried to add and modifying existing category but it failed. i also got trouble with my redis, i think i will use mongo as my DB than redis, i prefer use redis only for cache ing or as message broker.

is there any how to install with mongoDB?

thanks for your response
