Yes, the character limit is 300.
To change this, you’ll need to use PHPMyAdmin to edit the data type of the ‘petition_email’ field in your *dk_speakup_petitions database table. It’s set to varchar(300) by default. Change that number to whatever you want.
Then you’ll need to open up /includes/admin-edit-view.php. Look at line 154, where a maxlength for this input field has been set to 300. Match this number with the new length of the field in the database, or simply remove the maxlength attribute entirely.
That worked like a charm, thank you!
I can’t find /includes/admin-edit-view.php 🙁
Somebody able to tell me where to find it?
admin-edit-view.php has been renamed to addnew.view.php and the maxlength value you need to change is now on line 80.
Can you walk me through updating the right table? In my PHPMyAdmin, I only see tables prefixed with wp_…
wp_commentmeta
wp_comments
wp_links
wp_options
wp_postmeta
wp_posts
wp_terms
wp_term_relationships
wp_term_taxonomy
wp_usermeta
wp_users
Where can i find the *dk_speakup_petitions table?
@beewinter,
The asterisk in the table name is just a placeholder for whatever your database table prefix is set to. In your case, the table you are looking for would be called wp_dk_speakup_petitions.
This table should be created when you install and activate the plugin.
