4 columns
8 replies · Started by Karen on May 27, 2022
Hi there, I'm new to the block editor and to GeneratePress. I'm using 3 columns (add container > 3 columns) for two rows on a page, but I need 4 columns for another row on the page. Columns offers 25/25/50 or 50/50 but not 25/25/25/25. Am I missing something really simple? I see there's a grid with 4 columns but it acts differently. I'd like to use columns for all 4 sections.
Also, how do I add the 4 latest blog posts in 4 columns?
Hi there,
You can definitely create 4 columns with 25% each.
Any chance you can link us to the page in question?
You can use the private information field:

Let me know :)
Sure, but it's on a staging site. Would you like the login information?
A link to view the issue from the front end should be fine to start.
Thanks. It's not an issue per se. I was asking and imaging that there's an easy way to create 4 columns / 25/25/25/25 via a block. Can you show me here or are you saying I need to use CSS /html?
Are you using GenerateBlocks? If so the 4 columns layout is in the preset of the Grid block:

Yes, that's what I was saying. I found it in the grid block. I just don't like how I it works compared to columns. OK, I'll just use the grid block. Thanks!
Actually, is there a way to request adding 4 columns to the columns block? Or maybe even as many columns as you want?
Columns block is a WP core block so you would have to ask them.
Honestly though, the Grid block is a much better version of the columns block WP offers - which is why we created in GB :)
