## Descrição

**Wider Admin Menu** is a standalone plugin built, maintained & operated by the 
friendly folks over at [MachoThemes](https://www.machothemes.com/).

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.

## Perguntas frequentes

### 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,

ou

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`.

### 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?

Please report security bugs found in the source code of the Wider Admin Menu plugin
through the [Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program](https://patchstack.com/database/vdp/60969ff6-324d-408d-b967-06d70d70b1a9).

I did not realize that narrow Admin Menu is what makes me uncomfortable until I 
saw this plugin. Installed it and it indeed does help.

 [Marcus Quinn](https://profiles.wordpress.org/surferking/) 31 Maio, 2023 6 respostas

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.

Tested this plugin and the admin area looks better right away. Such a simple but
effective improvement. Never happened before in all those years like this with anything
in WordPress. Thank you so much.

After installing, activating, then deactivating and uninstalling this plugin without
changing it’s settings, the database increased by 0.1 MB! – although the developers
wrote that after removing the plugin, nothing remains in the database.
