We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!

We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.

You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.

While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.

We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.

Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!

    How do you increase the field size of the custom fields to be able to contain all the character inputs.

    Hi, Agamax79

    Thanks for reaching out to us

    -

    We don't have a built-in option to change the custom field size, but it can be done with some custom CSS.

    Here is an example for the old Step By Step Form.

    If you place a Text Field, you will have to "scroll to the side", in order to see all the text;

    but if we use a Text Area, we get a vertical scroll.

    I will focus on Text Area this time:

    Now, if i add this custom CSS to the WP page, i can set the minimum height value of this HTML container of the custom field of Text Area :

    textarea.el-textarea__inner {
        min-height: 400px;
    }

    -

    Then the Text area becomes much larger, as you can see.

    If you wish  to try that,

    Custom code needs to be applied to the page where the booking form is. Depending on what you're using (Gutenberg blocks, or some page builder), adding the CSS or JS can be done in a few different ways. 

    If you need help with adding custom CSS to the page, please take a look at this article.

    And of course, you can change the height value, as you need.

    -

    For the other field type, the Text Field, even if i try to increase the height, it does not help, since it has that "horizontal scroll" :

    So i would suggest if you can try to add a Text Area, and try to add this custom CSS to the page :

    Let me know if that helps, or if you need something else perhaps.smile.png

    -

    And if you wish to see a built-in option to set custom field height,

    Please feel free to search through our feature suggestion page

     to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there, and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.

    You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like, where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;

    and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.

    Kind Regards,
