    Is there a way to make the “Excerpt” entry box on the “New Entry” page larger than one line? In “Options”->”Writing,” there’s an option to make the “Post” box longer, but nothing for the “Excerpt” box.

    Hmm, just hit a similar topic…

    This is hard-coded in the source, so to change it, edit this file:

    wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php

    Look in this for <fieldset id="postexcerpt">, and just below it in the <textarea> tag change the value for the rows attribute.

    Hmmm. Just found it and did so–changed rows=”1″ to rows=”5″–but change not reflected on Create New Post page … ?

    *sigh* (that’s for the lack of consistency between certain things in WordPress, and not this thread’s question):

    Turns out the mod is required in wp-admin.css:

    #excerpt {
    height: 1.8em;
    width: 98%;
    }

    Change the height property value.

    Thanks, Kafkaesqui.
    And ditto on the *sigh*.
