Customer Reassurance How to increase the number of characters in your content?

[sylwekb]

Prestashop 1.7.8.10

I wanted to add more content but it automatically cuts off and all the content doesn't appear. I understand that the module has a limited number of characters? Can this be changed and if so, in which file on FTP?

Hi,

 

In PrestaShop, the character limit for various text fields, including product descriptions, is often set in the database rather than in specific files on the FTP.

Use a database management tool like phpMyAdmin or a similar tool provided by your hosting provider to access your PrestaShop database.

Find the table related to the content you want to modify. For product descriptions, you'll typically be looking at the ps_product_lang table. Look for the description column.

Find the row corresponding to the product for which you want to increase the character limit. Click on the "Structure" tab in phpMyAdmin, find the description column, and adjust the "Length/Values" setting to a higher value. This sets the character limit for the description field.

Note: The exact steps may vary slightly depending on your database management tool.

After making the changes, save them. This will update the character limit for the description field.

NOTE: Increasing the character limit might have consequences in terms of performance and layout, especially if your theme is not designed to handle longer product descriptions.

Thanks!
