# Admin dashboard breaks

 * Hey there,
    I noticed recently that the plugin broke multi-column layout in the
   admin dashboard. Instead of being able to align boxes horizontally, it reverts
   everything to single column layout with only the possibility to vertically sort.
   Once I disable the plugin, I can move and place boxes in multi columns… Is it
   possible to take a look into that? I know we can force the dashboard using this
   code in the functions.php
 *     ```
       function so_screen_layout_columns( $columns ) {
           $columns['dashboard'] = 1;
           return $columns;
       }
       add_filter( 'screen_layout_columns', 'so_screen_layout_columns' );
   
       function so_screen_layout_dashboard() {
           return 1;
       }
       add_filter( 'get_user_option_screen_layout_dashboard', 'so_screen_layout_dashboard' );
       ```
   
 * I haven’t taken a look at the plugin’s code, I figured I’d let you know first.
   
   Cheers
