I'm suddenly experiencing the same problem as described in this post. All the boxes in Atahualpa Options are suddenly single line. (A few days ago they showed more lines.) I can scroll through the option texts line by line, and select all lines with Ctrl-A and copy to an external editor, but I cannot make the boxes show more than one line (as they used to be). It is a hassle to change options in this this way. It can no longer be done within Atuahalpa Options itself. Any ideas as to what could be causing this? I'm running 3.4.4 on WP 2.9.1.

what version of PHP are you running and how much memory are you using?
Weird errors like this are sometimes caused by memory issues in PHP. Some hosts limit you to an particular amount of memory. The number of plugins can effect the amount of memory you are using.

IF it worked the other day,what have you changed? Did you add a plugin? Did you update a plugin? Did you add a big media file?

...or did your host do some kind of update?

Check teh error log and other logs on your host to see if there is any error message showing up

Thank you for your reply.

Version: PHP Version 5.2.10-2ubuntu6.3
Plugins: No new plugins installed, some upgraded, I deactivated those with no result
Memory: no problems there, about half of memory is still available

Errors: none.

Also, in other plugins and in the WP editor the boxes are more than one line long (and can sometimes be enlarged with the cursor). The problem only manifests it self in the Atuahalpa options editor.

Ok, I just disabled ALL plug-ins and the problem solved itself. So it seems it is one of the plug-ins after all. I'll look into it further and report my findings.

Ok, I've got the culprit. It's the Collapsible Archive Widget that's causing the problem.

Hello,
I just encountered the same problem when I upgraded from 3.2 to 3.5.1 with WP 2.9.1

Everything was working fine and when I did the upgrade, I could suddenly only see one line in the any of the options... very inconvenient!

It turns out to be my WP-Member plugin which is very unfortunate because it was one I paid a fee for (not tiny either) and is very necessary for my website.

How can I get this newest version of Atahualpa to play nice with my WP-Member plugin? What could be causing it?

Thanks,
Cindi
