Resizing exceprt textarea in the admin?

  • This is odd… I’m trying to increase the number of rows for the excerpt box on my admin pages.

    I’ve edited /wp-admin/edit-form-advance.php and can see that my changes are there when I view source, yet the textarea box remains only 1 row.

    Any ideas? Here is the code that I see when I view source…

    <fieldset id=”postexcerpt”>
    <legend>Excerpt</legend>
    <div>

    Foo

    <textarea rows=”10″ cols=”40″ name=”excerpt” tabindex=”4″ id=”excerpt”>On Friday the 13th, the Seattle Mariners hosted the world champion Boston Red Sox. It was a beautiful day for baseball.</textarea>
    </div>

    </fieldset>

  • Look in wp-admin/wp-admin.css for the #excerpt declaration, and play around with the height property value.

    This is what I used:
    Changed

    #excerpt {
    height: 1.8em;
    width: 98%;
    }

    to:

    #excerpt {
    height: 5em;
    width: 98%;
    }

    Worked great. It’s in the wp-admin.css as Kaf said.
