    Hi all,

    I am developing a site that has quite a lot of categories and was wondering if anyone know how to make the categories box (right hand side of Write > Post in the admin centre) bigger? i.e. “taller”

    Hope this makes sense.

    Cheers

  • Make a backup of this file before you edit:

    Somebody correct me on this, but I believe you would edit the /wp-admin/sidebar.php where you find:

    sidebar-categories {
    display: block;
    height: 6.6em;
    overflow: auto;
    background-color: #f4f4f4;

    Or possibly just below where it says “rows”

    Hi brockangelo,

    Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to work for me.

    Looking through the code when viewing the page in the browser I found that the styles referenced in the sidebar.php aren’t being used in the output code.

    I noticed a div called categorychecklist and found the CSS for this in the wp-admin.css file at line 1060. I just changed the height value there.

    Hope this helps someone else.

    Cheers.

    Nice – thanks for the update

    exbionic,

    thanks. I found #categorydiv in wp-admin.css and changed the height there, that worked for me.
