Please note that this plugin requires the <a href="https://seothemes.com/themes/customize-pro" rel="nofollow ugc">Customize Pro child theme</a> and will not work without it.
Customize Pro Engine will be shown in the list of recommended plugins when you activate the Customize Pro theme and run through the Genesis <a href="https://studiopress.github.io/genesis/theme-setup/" rel="nofollow ugc">One Click Theme Setup</a> process.
This plugin provides the following functionality:
<ul>
<li>Over 500 Customizer settings</li>
<li>Handy shortcodes</li>
<li>Hero section</li>
<li>Widget areas</li>
<li>WooCommerce compatibility</li>
<li>Base CSS and JS</li>
<li>Repositioning of Genesis hooks</li>
<li>Useful helper functions</li>
<li>Loading Google Fonts</li>
</ul>
This plugin was created as a way to keep the child theme up to date with the latest features, security fixes and bug fixes. By shifting the majority of code out of the child theme and into a plugin, we are able to provide automatic updates without overwriting customizations made to your child theme.

Genesis Columns Advanced is nearing the end of its life. The plugin was built for the Classic Editor and is not needed in the block Editor (Gutenberg). Critical support will still be provided in the support forum, but the plugin is no longer being actively developed. Consider transitioning to the native WordPress Columns block.
This plugin was originally designed to generate shortcodes for every column configuration available with the column classes provided by the <a href="http://www.studiopress.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Genesis Framework</a>, hence the name. We are pleased to announce that as of version 2.0, the plugin is completely standalone and does not require Genesis. The plugin now loads its own CSS styles, which can be disabled if you desire. See the FAQ for more details. By moving away from Genesis, we have been able to add new features, such as the inclusion of fifths, and it opens the door to more enhancements in the future!
Shortcodes are easily added using a custom button in your WordPress editor. They can also be added manually if you so choose. See the FAQ for more details. Check out the video below for a short demo on the plugin.

Genesis Columns Advanced

Good plugin, makes the task for column widths quick and simple. Rather than typing classes for text widgets, and wondering what to do with other widgets, simply use this plugin. I recommend it.

Also, the author is responsive to queries posted on these support forums, which can often be quite important for these sorts of plugins.

Simple to use; does what it says on the box

Adds shortcodes to easily create up to 42 different columned layouts.
