Dashboard too many columns

    Not exactly earth-shattering, but I seem to have an extra column on the right hand side in my dashboard and cannot get rid of it. It is a dotted line box and has no arrows, headings, etc. I cannot figure out where it came from, or when.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Debbie

    If I remember correctly, this was introduced in WP 3.8. You probably have a wide screen and are seeing 3 narrow columns and 1 empty column. There has been a lot of debate about this.

    If you want to get column settings back you can add the following to your functions.php (preferrably in a child theme!):

    // Get column settings back in admin area of WP 3.8
function ccc_dashboard_columns() {
    add_screen_option(
        'layout_columns',
        array(
            'max'     => 4,
            'default' => 2
        )
    );
}
add_action( 'admin_head-index.php', 'ccc_dashboard_columns' );
