You can create a new account and then delete or just change the passwords afterwards. My email address is info@kerrinhardy.com.

Still nothing. I went back into mysql and changed it to 175 to see if it changed things, but it still stays at 64... What do you mean by having a quick look?

You can also try adding a ? to the end of the edit product page's URL in the address bar - this tells the browswer to go back to the server for a new copy of the page. If this doesn't work, I could have a quick look for you. Francine, I’m just wondering you may need to clear the cache on the browser you are using or use a different one and try it there.

When you log back into the database (via phpMyAdmin) does the new length show or is it still set to 64 characters? Once the change is made in the database, you will need to update the product by entering in the longer product name (now that it will accept it). Let me know how you get on, Kerrin Hi Francine, what do you mean by ‘the longer product stays the same’? When you log back into the database (via phpMyAdmin) does the new length show or is it still set to 64 characters?

Once the change is made in the database, you will need to update the product by entering in the longer product name (now that it will accept it).

Let me know how you get on,
Kerrin

It was included in preparation for a future release. Hi Claudia, while it won’t hurt updating the products_name field, the customers_wishlist table is not used in the current code.

It seems that products_name is defined there as well as VARCHAR(64). What about the _customers_wishlist table? It seems that products_name is defined there as well as VARCHAR(64).
