    Hello!

    I was hoping you might be able to help… I can’t seem to increase the height of the textarea field no matter what I try. (I note that the column width can be made smaller, but somehow nothing I do has any impact on the height). I would very much appreciate any suggestions that might help.

    Kind regards,

    Claire

  • Hi Claire,
    Did you inspect the code with the code inspector on your browser? Send me the url and I can give you a hand.

    Hi Irene,

    Thank you so much! The url is https://labonneechappee.com/contact/ .
    I inspected the code in the browser (well, I took a look at it – I’m afraid I’m a complete beginner so it doesn’t mean much to me!)… Under {textarea I saw ‘min-height: 130px;’ with a line through it.

    yes, this is available with the cf7 plugin and works with this plugin too.

    Thank you so much for getting back to me.

    I have read this document over and over, I’ve tried to follow what it says, and still nothing works. Even if I paste in:

    [textarea your-message]
    foo
    bar
    [/textarea]

    or

    [textarea your-message 40×10 “your message here …”]

    as shown in the text fields explainer document you linked to, as soon as I click ‘Update’ the text field reverts to the default (which is always [textarea your-message x5]). Nothing I do increases the height of the text box. Sorry if I’m being an idiot and am missing something really obvious. I’ve just tried so many things and nothing works.

    Thanks,
    Claire

    aha! then it’s a bug for sure. I will test/fix this and revert back to you.

    I just checked on my server and it is working as expected.

    I change the [textarea your-message x5] to [textarea your-message x10] to get more lines (don’t set the rows as the grid will automatically fit your field to the width of the cell)

    s soon as I click ‘Update’ the text field reverts to the default (which is always [textarea your-message x5]).

    there is some kind of javascript conflict happening on your server. Can you inspect the admin form page editor and check your javascript console to see if you get any errors.

    I am marking this thread as resolved since I have not heard back from you.

    Hi Aurovrata, I really apologise for not getting back to you sooner. You said to inspect the admin form page editor and check the javascript console to see if I get any errors – truth is I’m not very experienced at this so I actually don’t know what this means(!) I was intending to finding someone who could explain to me what I’m looking for but hadn’t got to it yet… I will keep trying and hopefully can figure out the problem! Many thanks for looking into it, and sorry again!

    Hey, no worries!

    so looking back at what you wrote

    [textarea your-message 40×10 “your message here …”]

    the “40×10” actually needs to come at the end of the tag

    [textarea your-message “your message here …” 40x10]

    to make it work I believe.

    IF the problem persists, please deactivate this plugin and see if you can get it to work with using the default CF7 plugin editor.
