How To Solve: WordPress - Some Dashboard Menu Items, Post Titles Not Showing Correctly

Have you ran into the situation where some options in your WordPress dashboard such as texts, post titles, page titles are written vertically down or not showing properly? This is a common problem in WordPress and the solution is simple.

When this issue occurs, it makes it impossible to edit posts or pages accurately as the texts and titles become unreadable and very lengthy per post or page. Fewer posts or pages also become visible on the screen per time.

This problem occurs because many things are selected to display on your screen per time which are more than your screen width can contain.

To solve the issue, you need to deselect some of those screen options.
