Hi there,

Just a quick question,

my replies box (where users type in their comments) is quite large and many people won’t be filling this up, resulting in it taking up unnecessary space on my page. Is there a way to decrease this size as the default and then, if needed, the user can manually increase the size of the box using the increaser at the bottom right?

Thank you

this (untested) should work

add_filter ('bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'change_rows') ;

function change_rows ($args) {
	if ($args['context'] == 'reply' ) {
		$args['textarea_rows'] = '6' ;
	}
return $args ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use
