<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.

<p>Easy access of the Genesis What’s New Admin overview page – not only on updates but everytime. Makes sense, heh? 🙂</p>
<h3>Get Access to Genesis What’s New Admin Page</h3>
<p>This simple & lightweight plugin has currently only one task: bring you access to the “What’s New” page for Genesis Framework. You can access it everytime in the left-hand admin menu under “Genesis > What’s New”. (Before this plugin it did only show up when you did an auto update of Genesis.)</p>
<p><strong>Please note:</strong> The plugin requires the <em>Genesis Theme Framework</em>, a paid premium product released by StudioPress/ WPEngine, Inc. (via studiopress.com).</p>
