 * Hi!
 * I am unable to edit records in the WP Admin. When I click on the pencil to edit
   I get the following screen.
 * [http://www.rpstparents.org/ppdb/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2018/08/Screenshot-2018-08-24-10.43.10.png](http://www.rpstparents.org/ppdb/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2018/08/Screenshot-2018-08-24-10.43.10.png)
 * The tabs are there, but no data fields.

 * Are you sure that is the correct screenshot? It’s something about setting up 
   email forwarders.
 * In general, if the tabs aren’t working in the admin, you’ve got some kind of 
   javascript conflict with another plugin. You can guess which one is causing the
   problem if it also sets up a tabbed interface in the admin, but really, any plugin
   could do it if not properly coded to avoid interfering with other plugins.
 * The way to tell is to progressively deactivate plugins until the problem goes
   away.

 * I need to go back to bed!! Yes, wrong screenshot. Are you able to remove that
   link in the previous post for me?
 * Let me do some investigating and see if I can figure where the conflict may be.
 * I will let you know.
 * Thanks!!!!

 * Well, it is not a plugin. I did figure out that is the size of area to put the
   from. I can scroll and see all the fields
 * I think it is in this:
 * class=”wrap pdb-admin-edit-participant participants_db ui-tabs ui-widget ui-widget-
   content ui-corner-all”
 * The wrap/box is too small.
 * Are you able to suggest some css to increase the vertical size of that class/
   box.
 * I confirmed that these are the correct screenshots. 🙂

 * Sorry for all of the posts/replies. I love to dig around and see if I can figure
   it out (new developer – haha!)
 * I found on inspect, that if I change the height from 28px to 500px in the below
   element, on the screen I can see it.
 * <div class=”field-group field-group-personal ui-tabs-panel ui-widget-content 
   ui-corner-bottom” id=”field-group-personal” aria-labelledby=”ui-id-1″ role=”tabpanel”
   aria-hidden=”false” style=”height: 500px; overflow: auto;”>
 * This is my CSS.
 * .field-group-personal.ui-tabs-panel.ui-widget-content.ui-corner-bottom {
    height:
   500px important!; }
 * I can see it now. If you know better css for this, let me know.

 * If that what works, you should use it, but it’s not really addressing the problem.
 * That div element is not normally given a specific height by the Field Group Tabs
   code. This is so it can expand to contain it’s content, which is going to be 
   different for each tab.
 * So, it looks to me that some other javascript is setting the height of that div.
   If you can’t find what is doing that (that may be difficult to do), then you 
   may have to resort to your fix, but you’ll find it doesn’t work very well because
   of the different heights of each tab’s content.
 * You may find that CSS that basically nullifies the height set by some other script
   works better, also using a selector that will get all the tabs with a single 
   rule…something like this:
 *     ```
       .pdb-admin-edit-participant .field-group {
          height: inherit !important;
       } 
       ```
   
 * Participants Database has a place in the Custom CSS settings where you can put
   CSS that is active in the admin.
