Columnizer is a jQuery based WordPress plugin that formats your content into columns. All you need to do is embrace your content in a single set of shortcodes denoting the number of columns you’d like. Like this:
<pre><code>[threecolumns]
Lorem ipsum...vitae nunc.
Curabitur fringilla...consectetur arcu.
Proin id...pretium eros.
etc...
[/threecolumns]
</code></pre>
The rest is taken care of for you. Just write out the number of columns (up to twelve) followed by the word ‘columns’ with no space (as above) and your column formatting needs will be satisfied most splendidly. Other column plugins need you to divvy up the content between sets of tags. Columnizer does it for you!
To customize the margins between columns edit columnizer.css. Alternatively you could override the rules in your own css file by adding an extra level of hierarchy. Something like this:
<pre><code>#main #columnizer .first div {
 margin-right: 8px; /*changed spacing to 8px*/
 margin-left: 0 !important;
}
#main #columnizer .last div {
 margin-left: 8px; /*changed spacing to 8px*/
 margin-right: 0 !important;
}
#main #columnizer .column div {
 margin-left: 8px; /*changed spacing to 8px*/
 margin-right: 8px; /*changed spacing to 8px*/
 border-left: 1px solid grey; /*new rule to add slick dividers*/
 border-right: 1px solid grey; /*new rule to add slick dividers*/
}
</code></pre>
WP Columnizer is based on the jQuery plugin “Columnizer” by Adam Wulf.

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:
<ul>
<li>full width (1/1)</li>
<li>half (1/2)</li>
<li>one third (1/3)</li>
<li>two third (2/3)</li>
<li>one fourth (1/4)</li>
<li>three fourth (3/4)</li>
<li>one fifth (1/5)</li>
<li>two fifth (2/5)</li>
<li>three fifth (3/5)</li>
<li>four fifth (4/5)</li>
<li>one sixth (1/6)</li>
<li>five sixth (5/6)</li>
</ul>
A preset stylesheet is included, which you can also overwrite to you liking in your theme’s stylesheet.
