Wider Admin Menu is a lightweight plugin that lets you set the width of your admin menu from the default `160px` up to `300px`. A separate stylesheet is also included if you wish to avoid Yet Another Plugin. See FAQ. This plugin will _leave no trace!_ If you delete the plugin, all settings will be removed from the database. Guaranteed. However, simply deactivating it will leave your settings in place, as expected. ## Screenshots * [[ * Before * [[ * After ## Installation Option A: 1. Go to `Plugins > Add New`. 2. Search for „wider admin menu“. 3. Click „Install Now“. Option B: 1. Download the zip file. 2. Unzip it on your hard drive. 3. Upload the `wider-admin-menu` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. Option C: 1. Download the zip file. 2. Upload the zip file via `Plugins > Add New > Upload`. Finally, activate the plugin. By default, the plugin will set the width of the admin menu to `200px`. Go to Settings > Wider Admin Menu to select a new width. ## FAQ ### I don’t need a plugin. Can I just add some code to my stylesheet? Sure. That’s actually how this plugin started out. If you simply need a wider admin bar and you’re cool with CSS then try this: Look in the plugin’s `/css` folder for the file `wider-admin-menu.css`. Then either copy its contents to your theme’s stylesheet, oder copy the file to your theme folder and add this to your theme’s `functions.php` to load it: ``` function wider_admin_menu() { wp_enqueue_style( 'wider-admin-menu', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/wider-admin-menu.css' ); } add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', 'wider_admin_menu' ); ``` That covers WordPress 4.0 and up. For WordPress 3.8 to 3.9.2, substitute `wider-admin-menu-38.css`. For WordPress 3.5 to 3.7.1, substitute `wider-admin-menu-35.css`. For WordPress 3.3 to 3.4.2, substitute `wider-admin-menu-33.css`. Need a hand? I’m on the [support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wider-admin-menu). ### How can I contribute a translation? [Translate directly on wordpress.org](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/wider-admin-menu). Thanks! ### Leave no trace? What’s that about? Some plugins and themes don’t fully uninstall everything they installed – things like settings, database tables, subdirectories. That bugs me. Sometimes, it bugs your WordPress too. So this plugin will completely remove itself upon deletion. Deactivating the plugin will leave the settings intact, though. As an added bonus, you can switch off „Leave No Trace“ so the settings remain after deletion, if you want. ### Where do I report security bugs found in this plugin?

Installed it and it indeed does help. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9dfac6a8949b2cedca428ffc8a15fd373e5fb556ba95dde79870ff0c60d39340? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Should be default](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/should-be-default-2/)󠁿 [Marcus Quinn](https://profiles.wordpress.org/surferking/) 31. Mai 2023 6 Antworten This should be the default Admin left navigation width! Brilliant plugin – I just wish that Gutenberg editor and others recognised this width, as they seem to be left-aligned to the original width, hiding an important part of their interfaces. Maybe there’s another way to implement this? Or maybe an alternative would be knocking the font size down a couple of pixels but within the original width for less wrapped text, or maybe just change the way text wraps. Nice try though, appreciate someone making the effort for the obvious issue that core has missed. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/02e413152906f9dda514e5d864180b0f9e89404ac2c1af47cd29be716a492e19? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great.
