Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Three Column Dashboard? * Resolved [Princess_Giggles](https://wordpress.org/support/users/princess_giggles/) * (@princess_giggles) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/three-column-dashboard/) * Why is a three column dashboard no longer an option with the latest version of WordPress? Is there a way to hack that back?

Is it an invisible option? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/three-column-dashboard/#post-2817508) * That’s because the third column is the left hand menu – which always has to be there. The rest of the page is then split into 1 or 2 columns. * Thread Starter [Princess_Giggles](https://wordpress.org/support/users/princess_giggles/) * (@princess_giggles) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/three-column-dashboard/#post-2817509) * I had three columns plus the left hand menu before the update to 3.4. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/three-column-dashboard/#post-2817512) * Not via the core Screen Options you didn’t.

Via the core Screen Options I did. I reverted one of my blogs back to 3.3.2 and got a screen capture for you. * [http://www.missgiggles.com/images/4columns.gif](http://www.missgiggles.com/images/4columns.gif) * Why did I have an option of up to 4 columns with 3.3.2 and only up to 2 columns with 3.4? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/three-column-dashboard/#post-2817630) * > Forbidden > You don’t have permission to access /images/4columns.gif on this > server. * [Rev.

If you don’t have a browser window big enough for 3 or 4 columns, you won’t get those options. Nothing has changed as far as I know. * [Rev.

Nothing has changed in this version of WordPress.
