Wider Admin Menu

Wider Admin Menu increases the width of the WordPress admin sidebar menu for better readability. Long menu item names often get truncated in the default narrow sidebar. This simple adjustment makes menu text fully visible, especially useful when plugins add lengthy menu items. Improves usability without changing functionality.
