## Description

In WordPress 3.8, the setting that controlled the number of displayed columns was
removed from the «**Screen Options**» section of the Dashboard. From now on, WordPress
decides how many columns it should display depending on the size of the browser 
window. This is convenient for mobile use, but not for a web browser maximized to
the entire size of a 22-27 inch monitor, since WordPress always shows 4 columns 
in this case – even if only 2 widgets are shown.

This plugin restores the possibility to control the «**Number of Columns**» parameter
in the «**Screen Options**» section of the Dashboard.

PS Please note that WordPress doesn’t allow you to select more than 2 columns if
your browser window is not maximized.

If you liked my plugin, please **rate** it.

### 󠀁[Better than the default columns for sure](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/better-than-the-default-columns-for-sure/)󠁿

This allows one to expand the dashboard width wider, and it holds 1 column. But 
past a certain width, it switches to 2 or 3 columns again. It’s better than the 
WP default, especially when looking at website stats, where one would like the maps
and graphs to show as large as possible. I had another plugin that still worked 
but hadn’t been updated in about 4 yrs, so needed to replace it.
