Description

An intuitive solution to make the default WordPress Gutenberg sidebar resizable.

Key points

  • Functions straight out of the box
  • An easy to use drag and drop interface
  • Preferences are saved directly to your machine so your editors can work along side you with their own preference.

PHP 5.6 or greater is recommended before installation

  1. Navigate to the plugins menu.
  2. Search for ‘Resizable Editor Sidebar’
  3. Click ‘Install Now’ followed by ‘Activate’
  4. You’ll now be able to drag the sidebar to a width that is suitable for yourself.

The ad is a little to much

By melcarthus on January 17, 2025

Great little plugin but the Ad when resizing is a little to much intrusive. Clients asked if the site was hacked multiple times. Yes, clients are not as tech savvy sometimes. Is there not a better place to advertise your other plugins?

It works perfectly.

The most important thing for me is that it works with WP 6.6, as another plugin solution that I had, stopped working with v6.6. So thank you very much for this plugin.

Elevates Block Editor UX

By dromvati on August 4, 2024

After developing for many years with gutenberg/blocks I can confidently say:
This is easily one of the most missing basic features for authoring experience. Shame this isn't part of the core and kudos to the author.

What I've been looking for years. This is it.

OMG. How could Gutenberg have been released, ever, without this simple, little feature?! WordPress should pay millions to integrate this plugin in the next release!

Seriously. Took me years to understand the "logic" of how to move Gutenberg metaboxes from below the content to the right, into the sidebar. And back.

Together with this little plugin, the Resizable Editor Sidebar, this semi-ugly UX of Gutenberg begins to shine. Finally.

Thank you ever so much for all the efforts!

As of today, only 900 downloads. Unbelievable. Should easily grow to 9.000, 90.000, 900.000, 9.000.000. Let's spread the word!

Just what I was after

I have ACF fields in the sidebar and a wider bar accommodates them much better, thanks 🙂 I'm OK with the ad when you resize, but have you thought about an add free paid version?

Pretty cool, but with the current WP Version not working

Cool and lightweight plugin, perfect with ACF Blocks, but there is a bug in the current Version. Gutenberg Options stays at 300px.

Good plugin

It was exactly what I needed

Pretty damn cool

Awesome plugin, no need to setup anything, just activate and go. Also saves your last resize so you do not need to set it up every time you refresh the page
