# Custom form fields height

 * I’m running a Charitable campaign which requires a custom field: I want donors
   to be able to leave us a message. This is already up and running (see bellow).
   I did this by creating my own custom plugin which adds a new “custom_message”
   field (great documentation, thanks).
 * I would like to increase the height of the box for the “custom_message” field.
   Any ideas how I could do this?

 * [@smugel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smugel/) Are you using a text field
   or a textarea field? If you want the height to be increased then I would go with
   textarea which should add rows automatically (and with custom code or CSS you
   make it any height you want). Note that’s listed as a value “type”:

   I’m incorrect or you’re doing something different, let me know. Thanks!

 * This is exactly what i was looking for, thank you! What css code would you use
   to modify the textarea height?

 * [@smugel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smugel/) Something as simple as
   below. You might need a more specific identifier (like a class name). Hope this
   helps!
 *     ```wp-block-code
       textarea {
         width: 300px;
         height: 150px;
       }
       ```
