<p><strong>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.</strong></p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>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.</p>

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.

<h4>Optimized Display plus Bonus Features</h4>
<p>This plugin provides <strong>optimized templates for the ‘download’ Custom Post Type</strong> of the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-digital-downloads/" rel="ugc">Easy Digital Downloads plugin</a> for the use with <em>Genesis Framework</em> and <em>Child Themes</em>. To allow easy customization of these templates, and ensure that you do not lose your customizations when the plugin is updated, you can place your own copies of these templates in your child theme’s <code>/edd/</code> folder and customize these copies as much as you like. You can also create your own <code>taxonomy-{taxonomy}.php</code> and <code>taxonomy-{taxonomy}-{term}.php</code> templates in the same location and this plugin will find them and use them to display your website’s Download Category and Download Tag archives. See the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy#Custom_Taxonomies_display" rel="nofollow ugc">Template Hierarchy</a> to learn more about naming requirements for taxonomy templates.</p>
<p>Additionally, the plugin adds full support for the Genesis SEO Settings, inpost metaboxes for Layout Settings plus plugin support for “Genesis Simple Sidebars” as well as “Genesis Simple Menus”. Further, two additional (shortcode aware) sidebars are provided for the use on top of the Downloads Archives page and for Single Download pages. Further, breadcrumbs display and post meta info is tweaked for optimized usage.</p>
<p>Please note: This connect plugin is <em>not required</em> for Genesis & Easy Digital Downloads users but makes life a lot easier!</p>
