What the author says it does

Adds shortcodes to easily create columns in your posts or pages.

Sometimes you just need to divide your page into different columns. With this plugin you just select a column shortcode and it will add the column to the page. You can also change the padding of each individual column from the UI.

There are 10 different column widths available from which you can make all combinations:

  • full width (1/1)
  • half (1/2)
  • one third (1/3)
  • two third (2/3)
  • one fourth (1/4)
  • three fourth (3/4)
  • one fifth (1/5)
  • two fifth (2/5)
  • three fifth (3/5)
  • four fifth (4/5)
  • one sixth (1/6)
  • five sixth (5/6)

A preset stylesheet is included, which you can also overwrite to you liking in your theme’s stylesheet.

Questions the author answers

How do I add a column shortcode?

Standard

The easiest way is to use the added icon on the top of your editor ( right next to the media icon ). This will open a popup window from which you can select a column icon by clicking on one of the shortcodes.

Manual

You could also type in the shortcode yourself inside the editor. The following shortcodes are available:

Where do I add my content?

When you have selected a shorcode it will be placed in you editor. You will see something like this:

[one_half][/one_half]

Make sure to place your content (text/images etc. ) between the two shortcodes, like so:

[one_half]My content goes here...[/one_half]

My existing theme uses the same shortcodes, how can I solve this?

You can prefix the shortcode by placing the following in your functions.php. Problem solved =)

add_filter( 'cpsh_prefix', 'set_shortcode_prefix' ); function set_shortcode_prefix() { return 'myprefix_'; // edit this part if needed }

How can I hide the Padding Settings?

In patch 0.6 we added padding settings (optional) to the plugin. If you would like to hide this settings menu you can place the following in your functions.php

add_filter( 'cpsh_hide_padding_settings', '__return_true' );

How can I hide certain Column Shortcodes from the menu?

If you would like to hide certain column from the menu; place the following in your functions.php

function hide_column_shortcodes( $shortcodes ) {

/* uncomment ( remove the '//' ) any of the following to remove it's shortcode from menu */

How can I replace the default Shortcode CSS stylesheet?

You can easily overwrite the existing stylesheet. For example you would like to add a margin between your columns, you just place the following in your theme’s style.css:

.one_half { width: 49% !important; margin-right: 2% !important; } .one_half.last_column { width: 49% !important; margin-right: 0px !important; } .one_third { width: 32% !important; margin-right: 2% !important; } .one_third.last_column { width: 32%…

Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin. The author takes donations at their donate page.
