Move admin panel sidebar to the right hand side

  • Does anyone know how to move the admin panel sidebar from the left side to the right side.

    The reason I want to do it is because I have too much stuff in my admin panel so I often have to scroll up or down before clicking on something. So I want the sidebar to be next to the scroll bar to minimize my time and my carpel tunnel pain.

    Thanks!

  • This isn’t fool proof. It won’t work on the responsive version of the backend, but in your theme’s function.php add:

    //move sidebar
add_action('admin_head','move_admin_sidebar');
	function move_admin_sidebar() {
		?>
		<style>
		html body #adminmenuback { display: none; float: right !important; }
		html body #adminmenuwrap { float: right !important; right: 0; }
		#wpcontent { margin: 0 180px 0 15px; }
		</style>
		<?
	}

    @davidsword: Nice! It works well. Many Thanks!

    There are two issues:
    1) I had to change “<?” to “<?php” to make it work.
    2) The sub-menu hover popups are gone.

    I guess the sub-menu popups have fixed relative location. Do you have any idea how to make them pop on left instead of the right?

    Thanks again
