Dashboard Size

  • Dear Members,
    in the Admin Panel of WP we can see the Dashboard Menu on the left.

    My Question is: Is it possible to change the Menu width of the Dashboard on the left side?

    I’m new in using WP so I’d like to know whether it’s possible to adjust the Dashboad Menu Size on the left. I’ve looked inside the “wp-admin\css” folder and the “nav-menu.sss File but I found not the info I need.

    Here is the Example what I found so you can see about what I’m talking from… Dashboard-Bildschirmoptionen

    Thanks for you help…

  • You’ll have to add custom code like this

    function custom_admin_css_for_admin_menu() {
	echo '<style>
        #adminmenu,
	#adminmenu .wp-submenu,
	#adminmenuback,
	#adminmenuwrap {
		width: 200px;
	}
	#wpcontent,
	#wpfooter {
		margin-left: 200px;
	}
	#adminmenu .wp-submenu{
		left: 200px;
	}
	</style>';
}
add_action( 'admin_head', 'custom_admin_css_for_admin_menu' );

    Hi Mike,

    Are you wanting to increase or decrease its size?

    If you would like to increase the width, you could use the Wider Admin Menu plugin.

    If you would like to make it smaller, right at the bottom of the menu, there is a link to collapse the menu.

    Hope this helps

    Attn To “Vijay Hardaha”: You wrote that I have to add the custom code… hmm, where please? I guess in the “wp-admin\css” folder? If yes in what file I have to add it? Would you please tell it to me?

    Thank you so much for your help ??

    Oh and BTW:
    Just a side note: I’m from the VBulletin community and I have been more than 10 years over there. Since VBulletin was was no longer developed in version 4.x (IMO it was simply the best version ever!!!) I decided to leave.

    2 days ago I started to familiarize myself with wordpress. But I notice that VBulletin is much easier to use the settings and configuration than in WordPress. But I’ll give WordPress a chance. Yep…
