  • 0

I am using the WordPress plugin Woocommerce. The system uses attributes to display product information such as weight, height, and so on. I guess the attributes feature is based on WordPress custom fields. One of the attributes I have is a description. The problem I’m facing is that WP is automatically truncating the content I enter here and limiting it to about 200 characters.

After poring over the code and various searches on google I landed with nothing. So I was wondering if someone might know how I can increase the length of these custom fields/attributes to accept something like 400 characters.

Thanks in advance,
Sukrit

    Found an answer after spending some time searching through the code and the database. With some great advice from Woocommerce team members I finally settled with the following solution.

    I went into the database and changed the name column of the {wp}_terms table from VARCHAR (200) to VARCHAR(1000).

    Seems to have sorted the problem, at least until the next upgrade.
