How to Change and Edit WordPress Content Height
One potential advantage to using WordPress for your blog or website is that you manage the appearance of your content using a custom style sheet, which is a single file that sets aspects for all classes of content on your page. Adjust the height of a specific content class -- your blog's "Search" field, for example -- on your blog by editing it within the .CSS file.

Sign in to WordPress. Click the "Appearance" pane to open it, then click "Editor" to access your theme's files, including its .CSS file.

Peruse the list of theme files along the right side of the page. Click the "Style.css" stylesheet if it isn't open by default.

Scroll down through the stylesheet until you locate the height attribute you want to change. If, for example, you want to change the height of your "Search" field, the line looks something like this:
.post-content .search fieldset {width: 610px; height: 35px;}

Type a new number behind the "height:" tag to adjust the height of the content in question upward or downward. Large numbers of pixels produce a higher height, smaller ones a lower one.

5
Click the "Save" button to save your stylesheet, then load your WordPress site in your browser to make sure the changes are to your liking. If they aren't, return to the stylesheet and continue modifying the content height until it suits you.
