Increase event title length

Hi there,

Currently there is a limit of 100 characters for event titles.

I’d like to increase it to let’s say 200 characters.

How do I do that?

Ready to edit database or plugin code.

Cheers

Hello,

This is set on install, so you would need to alter the events_detail table to change the event_name columns length.

Whilst my quick and local testing suggests that updating the plugin wont change the database table row length, we cannot guarantee this, as we do from time to time modify the database, so changing the table is at your own risk.

So, do you mean to say I’d first need to create an event from WP and edit it’s name in the events_detail table?

No, not that you would need to edit the type of database entry it is, from varchar(100) to varchar(200). http://d.pr/i/yUQi

You can do this via PHPMy Admin or a plugin such as Adminer.

Remember to back up your database prior to editing it.
