    Hi Tobias, no problem really I just need a bit more info –

    I would like a bit more info on how to edit the php file for the plugin: Larger Edit Input fields. Where is the file located: path, would be helpful 🙂 Thanks

    I installed it and my fields are still very small, that is, I cannot see what is in them.

    These edit fields for the table collapse when reloaded, I was hoping that with one button press the fields would open up the fit the size of the amount of text within. But it sounds like this plugin will just pre-set the size for all, so even empty fields will open just as big, and ones with lots of text will still not be fully revealed – is this right?

    Just trying to understand how the plugin works. I was hoping to find more info on the plugin’s page, maybe a image example showing the resizing…but I didn’t so I thought I’d ask the Master-Tobias.

    Thanks for your time,

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    The relevant file would be /wp-content/plugins/tablepress-edit-field-size/tablepress-edit-field-size.php

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Okay, I did edit the php file (thank you for the path). And the fields are longer, and this helps, but no matter how I change the height the fields stay the same height. Right now I have it set to 300×300 but I’m seeing 300×96 unless I change them by hand, individually. Any suggestions?

    Also, there isn’t any way to set individual columns is there?

    Thanks Tobias,

    Oh, I just clicked on a field and sure enough it opened up to 300px…. I did not expect this as I could see the changes to the length as I went.

    So back to the question in my original post, trying to figure out the text-field box behavior –
    Editing the php file height will cause the field boxes to “open up” to the px I specify – when clicked-on only, but their length does show when the page is loaded – correct?

    Hum, I have certain columns that can remain standard/small, while others have anchor tags, etc. that would be nice to scan through without having to click each one. Is it possible, without breaking tablepress, to add more specifications to the php file for the sizes?

    Our tables will contain hundreds of items, so I ask 😀 Thanks for all your expertise.

    Hi,

    to have the height changed directly (without having to click inside the cell), please try changing

    #edit-form-body .focus td {

    to

    #edit-form-body td {

    Regards,
