    red flag Category Characters

    Hi I'm aware this has ben asked a few times before but none of the answers I found seemed to work globally.

    I need my category names to be slightly longer by about 10 characters, so how do I do this in the database and what do I need to change?

    That link takes me right to the post on how to change the categories_name from 32 to 64 characters:
    Code:
    ALTER TABLE categories_description CHANGE categories_name categories_name VARCHAR( 64 ) NOT NULL;
