My members had been adding things like quotes to their signature field. These quotes wrapped into multiple lines and presented fine. I just changed themes and the signature box now only has one line of text and any text longer than the width of the signature box doesn’t show anymore. Anyway to get the lines wrapping and the box expanding in height to accommodate? I tried changing the Signature Image Size incrementally up to 300px but that didn’t increase the box size at all. Any suggestions? confused

Thanks for your help.

Gosh – it has been a long time since we had this question!

Our older themes – like Default – had a specific height set for signatures. This became better with later themes like Reboot and BareBones where we were able to introduce more flexible elements.

This topic explains how to easily change the height:

We no longer recommend a custom theme of course, We do recommend using a child theme however.

I read the posting thanks. But I do not see the spTopicView.php file that they mention to edit. At least not in the plugins editor.. hmmm

EDIT: Found it through FTP…. thanks worked great

That’s good. It is, of course a theme file not a plugin file.
