    Hello,

    I noticed a UI/layout issue when navigating to Meta Box > Custom Fields > Add New.

    The content area is getting pushed towards the left side, and the WordPress admin sidebar overlaps the page interface, making the screen appear misaligned and partially hidden.

    This happens immediately after opening the “Add New Custom Field” screen.

    Steps to reproduce:

    Go to Meta Box > Custom Fields
    Click Add New
    The editor/layout loads shifted to the left and overlaps with the WordPress admin sidebar

    Environment:
    WordPress 7.0-RC4
    WordPress.com hosting PHP 8.4
    Meta Box AIO ver 3.7.1
    Browser: Firefox on Linux (Zorin OS 18.1 Pro)

    Screenshot:

    Thank you.

    Additional update:

    I tested this further and can confirm that the same issue is also happening in the Brave browser, so it does not appear to be Firefox-specific.

    The “Add New Custom Field” screen still loads shifted towards the left side, with the WordPress admin sidebar overlapping the interface.

    Hello Alok Sharma,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Do you use another plugin that customizes the admin area, like Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE)? This will set the admin menu display above the Meta Box Field group menu and cause the issue.
    Or maybe it is a conflict issue with the admin menu style of WordPress.com hosting only.

    Hello Peter,

    I am not using any plugin that customizes or modifies the WordPress admin UI, nor am I using any custom admin styling.

    Also, this issue is happening only on the “Meta Box > Custom Fields > Add New” screen. Other Meta Box screens and other plugin pages are displaying normally.

    To further troubleshoot, I deactivated all plugins except Meta Box and also switched to the Twenty Twenty-Five theme, but the issue still persists.

    If needed, I can provide an admin login for further investigation.

    Thank you.

    Hello Peter,

    Thank you for looking into this.

    I was able to figure this out.

    The issue appears to be happening because of the “Business” badge displayed next to the Upgrade section in the WordPress.com left admin sidebar. That badge increases the sidebar width slightly, and that extra width is exactly what overlaps the “Add New Custom Fields” area.

    However, when I logged in using the temporary login link, I noticed that the “Business” badge was not being displayed, which is likely why the issue could not be reproduced there.

    Whatsoever, I still think there might be a small CSS positioning issue, specifically with the “Meta Box > Custom Fields > Add New” screen itself. It seems the page content is starting from the default/slim sidebar width instead of dynamically respecting the actual sidebar width. Because of that, the content ends up rendering behind the expanded sidebar.

    Also, this is happening only for this particular screen and not elsewhere in Meta Box or other plugin pages.

    Could you please escalate this internally for review? It might just require a small CSS position/offset adjustment for this screen.

    Thank you again for taking the time to investigate this.
