I’m wondering if theres a way to hack the Edit Post screen to allow a 3rd (or even 4th) column, like the dashboard has.

Let me preface this, I use a 20″ monitor and surf with my browser maximized.

The Problem:
I have no need for a 1000px+ wide text editor and would rather make it smaller and gain an extra column to organize the options better.

Solution:
Ideally have 3 columns on the Edit Post screen, the first slightly larger for the body text, and two smaller ones next to it for all the options.

Has the added benefit of not having to scroll down to access all the options for a post. Plus it would help the proofreading/typing process as ideal line length is something around 12-16 words. Right now in my case it’s about double that. Which makes reading and proofing a pain. I don’t want to have to change my browser size just to make a post.

Aside:
I’m honestly surprised this hasn’t been included in the core already, it’s a waste of valuable space for people with wide monitors, and has been bugging me for a long time. I don’t imagine it would be hard to implement either.
I think the whole admin side should just dynamically adjust columns based on screen width so I can seamlessly go from my netbook to my desktop, with out having to change settings every time.

Add the following at the top of the third_column_css function.
```
global $post_type;
        if( 'your-type' != $post_type )
              return;
```
So it looks like so..
```
function third_column_css () {
        global $post_type;
        if( 'your-type' != $post_type )
              return;
        ?>
```
Oversight on my part… ??

Hellow everyone ?? !

In the same idea, I would like to force just one column in the dashboard… Right now, my dashboard widgets are set in the left column, but the user can still drag and drop a widget in an other column, and I don’t want that :/ !

If possible, I want something that I can put in the function.php, not a plugin.

Thanks a lot.

The plug-in link has gone dead. I would really like the plug-in thanks.

I can’t say I like the ideas of messing with the WP install directly but i’m going to give it a shot. @ Mark, I asume your functions code goes into the functions file located in the wp-includes functions file? I guess I’ll find out soon. Also I assume this needs to be repeated every time WordPress update? Cheers, Brook

The code would go into your theme’s functions.php file (example: wp-content/themes/default/functions.php), but you’d also need to edit one of the core wordpress files as i indicated in my earlier response(wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php).

For code, use this.

Plus, the adjustment i mentioned here.

@mark

Sorry I missed that post. Will try again another day and let you know what result I get.

Cheers, brook.

I’ve published my solution as a real plugin. It does not require you to modify the code of WordPress itself in any way.

OK: Thanks to everyone involved with this.

@ Mark – Thanks heaps for your quick responses.
@ Marcus – That works great!

You’re welcome. It is quite a tricky, messy hack to add it without core support, which is no doubt why Mark didn’t believe it was possible. It would still be vastly better (less hacky and more reliable) if WordPress had built-in support for this.

Yes they should. They might at some point.
