Making Your WordPress 2.5 Admin Fluid - A Fix

Are you a WordPress 2.5 user and are annoyed that the content in the administration area only caters for screen resolutions of up to 1024×768… What about higher screen resolutions? There is a way to make the content fluid without editing the code of any WordPress core files. This is done by using a plugin called, “Admin Big Width” by XoraX.

But wait, there is one little problem! The plugin does not apply fluidity to the alerts that appear above the content when activating a plugin or updating options, for example. And the author did not end the PHP code. I decided to fix the plugin for myself when I had noticed that the alerts were not fluid after activating this plugin.

The fix is very simple. All I had done was open the original plugin in a text editor and replaced .wrap with .wrap, .updated, .error and added the closing code ?>

Refer to this text file to see what the code of the plugin looks like after my fix. You can save the text file, renaming it’s extension to .php and upload it to your plugins directory if you wish.

I just thought I’d share this fix in case someone wanted to not only have the WordPress administration content fluid but the alerts as well.

Very simple, no?
