How Do I Change the Height of a Column in WordPress?

Column Height in WordPress

There are a few ways to change the height of a column in WordPress. The simplest way is to use the column height field in the post editor.

You can also use the wp_column_settings() function to change the height of all columns in a post or page. Finally, you can use the custom field editor to add a custom column height setting to a post or page.

Column Height in the Post Editor

The column height field in the post editor lets you specify the height of a column. You can enter a number or a word value.

The word value is interpreted as a percentage of the page width. For example, if you enter 50% in the field, the column will be half the page width.

Column Height in the wp_column_settings() Function

The wp_column_settings() function lets you change the height of all columns in a post or page. To use the function, you need to know the name of the column you want to change and the name of the variable that stores the column’s settings.

To change the height of a column in a post, use the wp_column_settings() function like this:

$columns = array( ‘ID’ => ‘my_column_ID’, ‘name’ => ‘My Column Name’, ‘type’ => ‘text’, ‘collapsed’ => false, ‘width’ => ‘auto’, ‘height’ => ‘100%’, );

To change the height of a column in a page, use the wp_column_settings() function like this:

$pages = array( ‘ID’ => ‘my_page_ID’, ‘title’ => ‘My Page Title’, ‘type’ => ‘page’, ‘collapsed’ => false, ‘width’ => ‘auto’, ‘height’ => ‘100%’, );

To change the height of all columns in a post or page, use the wp_column_settings() function like this:

$settings = array( ‘ID’ => ‘my_post_ID’, ‘title’ => ‘My Post Title’, ‘type’ => ‘post’, ‘collapsed’ => false, ‘width’ => ‘auto’, ‘height’ => ‘100%’, );

Finally, to add a custom column height setting to a post or page, use the custom field editor like this:

add_field(‘post_title’, ‘my_custom_height’, array( ‘type’ => ‘text’, ‘size’ => ’50’, ‘maxlength’ => 50, ‘label’ => __(‘Custom Height for Post Title’), ‘description’ => __(‘Enter a number or a word value to set the height of the post title column.’), ), );
