Add meta box on dashboard in specific column

  • I’m trying to add a meta box to the dashboard, but I’m wondering if it is possible to specify the column it needs to go. I have the basic 2 column setup which is fine, but all the the meta boxes I add are automatically going in to the first column. Is there a way to add them directly to the second column?

    Look at the source for wp_add_dashboard_widget(). You can see it only allows two widgets into the ‘side’ location. Neither are yours of course. Also notice it basically calls add_meta_box() to add widgets. You could replicate the wp_add_dashboard_widget() functionality, allow your widget into ‘side’, and call add_meta_box() yourself.
