Making the Content Editor Box Bigger in 2013

Question

I know that question have been answer, but answer is no more current

with wp 3.5.2 (or 3.6) and many plugin, qtranslate first... i dont have the "size of the post box" in Settings > Writing. Yes i can manually extent the box with the lower right triagle, but when saved, it's back to super small 2-3 line in height

So the question, how do i change it PERMANANTLY to 30 line in height ?

Answer 1

I write a small plugin to give ability for user to change the edito height in a option of profile page. A sort of back in time to WP < 3.5.2

Workflow

1. Create custom field in the profile settings
2. On admin init check if we are in the right page, if so set an hook for the filter the_editor
3. In funcion hooken into the_editor get the user option and use a regex replace to change height, only if the id of the editor is the right one to prevent plugin interfer with other calls of wp_editor

Edit

I've created a better version of the original posted plugin. It's almost the same but is coded in a class and give 2 options for editor height: one for desktops one for mobile devices. The code can be found in this Gist.

Plugin in quickly tested on WP 3.6 and seems to work.

Below a preview of how this plugin let set the options:

Answer 2

if you add this style to this file, you will change it permanently.

Add the following to the functions.php file of your theme.

add this style;

<?php
function my_theme_add_editor_styles() {
    add_editor_style( 'custom-editor-style.css' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_theme_add_editor_styles' );
?>

Create custom-editor-style.css file on theme directory.add following code.

.wp_themeSkin iframe{
          height: 800px!important;
    }

you can change height value whatever you want.
