Re: Product Name Length

NOTE: on changing the size of a field that is stored in both the products_description table and then later in the orders_products table ... you need to change the length on both tables not just one ... :smile:

Re: Product Name Length

NOTE: be sure to upgrade as soon as you can once v1.3.6 is released ... you really do not want to be in that old version ... :smile:

Re: Product Name Length

These would be in your database and accessed via phpMyAdmin from your Control Panel of your domain ...

If you are not familiar with how to get to your phpMyAdmin, you will need to speak to your hosting site for help ...

NOTE: be sure to backup your database before making changes ...
