## Lýsing

This plugin has one function and one function only — to make columns. You use it
by inputting content between `[column]` and `[/column]` within your post content
editor (or anywhere shortcodes are allowed).

Grid Columns was created to fix the problem in which many theme developers were 
adding 20+ column shortcodes to their themes for something that should be extremely
simple and done with only a single shortcode.

### Professional Support

If you need professional plugin support from me, the plugin author, you can access
the support forums at [Theme Hybrid](http://themehybrid.com/support), which is a
professional WordPress help/support site where I handle support for all my plugins
and themes for a community of 40,000+ users (and growing).

### Plugin Development

If you’re a theme author, plugin author, or just a code hobbyist, you can follow
the development of this plugin on it’s [GitHub repository](https://github.com/justintadlock/grid-columns).

### Donations

Yes, I do accept donations. If you want to buy me a beer or whatever, you can do
so from my [donations page](http://themehybrid.com/donate). I appreciate all donations,
no matter the size. Further development of this plugin is not contingent on donations,
but they are always a nice incentive.

## Uppsetning

 1. Uzip the `grid-columns.zip` folder.
 2. Upload the `grid-columns` folder to your `/wp-content/plugins` directory.
 3. In your WordPress dashboard, head over to the _Plugins_ section.
 4. Activate _Grid Columns_.

## SOS

  Installation Instructions

 1. Uzip the `grid-columns.zip` folder.
 2. Upload the `grid-columns` folder to your `/wp-content/plugins` directory.
 3. In your WordPress dashboard, head over to the _Plugins_ section.
 4. Activate _Grid Columns_.

  Why was this plugin created?

Many theme developers add several column shortcodes to their themes (note: this 
isn’t allowed on WordPress.org). Essentially, the theme developers are doing a few
things wrong:

 * They lock users into using their themes forever.
 * They create 20+ shortcodes for what is possible for one. This makes it look like
   their themes have more „features“.
 * They remove core WordPress filters that other plugins rely on.
 * The code is just poorly developed altogether (most likely because they all copied
   from the same, bad source).

This plugin allows you to switch between any theme (no lock-in to your current theme).
It was also developed with WordPress standards and usability in mind.

  How do I use the [column] shortcode?

You can find more detailed instructions in the plugin’s `docs/readme.html` file.

Everything is based on a grid. By default, this grid is „4“. So, you can set up 
four columns like so:

    ```
    [column grid="4" span="1"]Some content[/column]

    [column grid="4" span="1"]Some content[/column]

    [column grid="4" span="1"]Some content[/column]

    [column grid="4" span="1"]Some content[/column]
    ```

You’ll notice that each „span“ is equal to the number of columns in the grid. So,
if the span is „1“, it’s equal to one column. If the span is „2“, it’s equal to 
two columns. You can only have as many spans/columns as the grid allows. Therefore,`
grid="4"` means you can only have four columns.

  Can I get more detailed instructions?

If you need a more detailed guide, see `readme.html`, which is included with the
plugin. It has a few examples and explains everything.

  Help! My site’s broken! What should I do?

Most likely, it’s because you either have too many spans or not enough spans for
your grid. Make sure each `span` argument for your `[column]` shortcode equals exactly
the `grid` argument.

  But, I did everything right.

If you’re absolutely sure you’re math is correct, it could be a conflict with your
theme. It’d be impossible for me to know without seeing it in use on your site, 
so you’ll either need to ask on my support forums or get your theme developer to
help.

  Can I have more than one set of grid columns in a post?

Yes. Absolutely. Just make sure each grid has the correct number of columns before
starting a new one.

  Can I nest columns?

No. This is a limitation of how WordPress handles shortcodes.

  Can I use other shortcodes within the `[column]` shortcode?

Yes, you can. However, keep in mind, that I can’t guarantee that your plugin developer
knows what he’s doing and created his shortcode correctly. But, yes, you can do 
this with properly-coded shortcodes.

  Can I put content between two different column shortcodes?

It’s possible, but you’ll probably break something. I recommend against attempting
this.

### 󠀁[Great plugin, but options could be increased, and support improved](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-but-options-could-be-increased-and-support-improved/)󠁿

I use this plugin for my site. It has a good basic functionality that works for 
items like restaurant menus. My only beefs with this plugin are that there is no
free support for the plugin, and the author doesn’t seem to respond to any queries
on here. The plugin is not responsive, either, but thanks to a helpful plugin user
who provided some code, this has been resolved. It would have been helpful for the
plugin author to have included this, though. Finally, the author makes it a bit 
of a process to find the instructions for using the plugin. You have to log into
your cPanel and dig through the files to get to the readme which showcases the instructions.

I still use this plugin with success. It just won’t get any easier than this.
