Changing back-end fields with CSS

Hi there, I have some custom fields that I use to collect extra user information for events. One of the fields is a text area. Everything is fine, but in the back-end the box is tiny, so I can’t see much of what people have entered. How can I increase the size of those text areas in the back-end (on a user’s single registration details page)?

I tried adding custom CSS in my theme options and also in my themes style.css file in my child theme folder, but I don’t get any result. I’m guessing it has to be changed somewhere else.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Hi there,

You’re themes style.css file will not load within the admin unless your theme adds a function to do so, however rather than adding that to the themes functions.php file I would recommend using something like:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-admin-css/

That’s a plugin used specifically to add custom styles within the admin. That way you can add only the additional styles needed to that plugin and if you ever change themes the styles will remain.
