An easy WordPress hack to make your blogging life easier.
If you have more than a handful of categories in your WordPress blog, you may have noticed that the Categories check boxes in the Write Post window has a scroll bar. You’ll need to scroll down every time you want to check a category at or near the end of the list.
This is a pain in the butt. At least it is for me. So I did something about it. You can, too.
- Use your favorite text editor (I use TextWrangler on a Mac) to open the wp-admin.css file in the wp-admin folder in your WordPress directory.
- Locate the line that starts
#categorydiv div div
- Change the value (12em) in the line that says
height: 12em;
to a higher value. I entered 40em (I have 27 categories). - Save the wp-admin.css file back in its directory.
Now open a Write Post page. You’ll see your change immediately.
Of course, this doesn’t work with a WordPress.com blog. You need a server installation to fiddle around with admin files.
