How do I use Lightweight Grid Columns with no coding

[Nancy]

I don’t understand how to use this plugin. There really is no documentation on the plugin site. I tried adding 3 images, each at 30% and the result is here:

Why does the plugin show the shortocde beside each item? And why does 30% for 3 items not space them evenly across the page?

Thanks

Hi there,

The picture needs to be inserted between the shortcode opening and closing.

Like this: https://gist.github.com/leohsiang/26ddd6df68c67c7bc5f7ed9125563fe2

OK that works but it still doesn’t explain how to use the toolbar popup for non-coders. How do you get an image in the media library in that box? How do you link it? Why does the shortcode appear in the Visual view?

Thanks

Might be easier to use the Text Editor instead.

Have a look at this: http://www.screencast.com/t/uErR6BfE1Jq

Thanks I can pass that link on to my client. So I presume the “content” box in the Visual editor popup is really meant for text.

Yeah or you can just copy the HTML for image/link from the visual editor to the popup as well.
