Re: Increase product name for new product

Go to phpMyAdmin and in the tables:
products_description
orders_products

you can increase the field by editing the field in the two tables ...

Re: Increase product name for new product

If you look at your database, down the left side you will see the table names ...

You should see:
address_book
address_format
admin
etc
etc

further down you should see:
orders_products
products_description

click on one of those then click on:
Structure

you will see the list of field names and an EDIT or CHANGE on each row for the field names ...

Re: Increase product name for new product

Check the file:

on the server and make sure you made the two changes to the correct database ...
