Password Protection Column in Pages and Posts is too large

Hi @gmesmer ,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Could you provide a screenshot/screencast of the issue you’re facing for us to take a look please?

Awaiting your reply.

The space reserved for Password Protection is significantly larger than all other categories (eg: see stats and SEO score). Additionally, it would be much better to simply have an icon (instead of “Password Protection”) with a colored lock/unlock instead of writing out “unlocked” to further save space.

Hi @gmesmer ,

Thank you for the information.

Could you help to:

1. Go to Appearance > Theme Editor.
2. Select the functions.php file of your active theme.
3. Add the following PHP code to enqueue custom CSS for the admin area:

function custom_admin_css() {
    echo '<style>
        .wp-admin .column-ppw_password_protection {
            width: 200px; /* Adjust the width as needed */
        }
    </style>';
}
add_action('admin_head', 'custom_admin_css');

Save the change and check if it works please?

Awaiting your reply.

Yes doing that (I set to 8em) does allow for it to be customized to fix better.

I would still be beneficial to allow for configuration to disable the text to only show the lock/unlock icon and have the column name be a similar width to the lock/unlock icon with a tooltip showing “Password Protection”

The first part would be editing:

                    function(e, o, n) {
                        t(o).removeClass("ppw_protected_color"),
                        t(o).addClass("ppw_unprotected_color"),
                        t(o).html('<i class="dashicons dashicons-unlock"></i> unprotected')
                    }(0, r)) : (e.text(a.label),
                    function(e, o, n) {
                        t(o).removeClass("ppw_unprotected_color"),
                        t(o).addClass("ppw_protected_color"),
                        t(o).html('<i class="dashicons dashicons-lock"></i> protected')
                    }(0, r))

Not sure about the second part but other plugins do it.

Hi @gmesmer ,

Thank you for the feedback.

I have noted this and shared it with our dev team, and they will consider adding it to the next plugin version.
