Want to create a column-based layout with easily customizable column-width and positions? Or perhaps you want to align your content to a global layout grid across your post. With this Layout Grid block you can do both or either. There are also options to provide specific layouts to mobile or tablet breakpoints. Pick a number of columns (1-4), then go ahead and resize and position each column as you want them to look, for any screen. Optionally apply background colours and paddings to add emphasis.

Layout Grid Block

Started using this block layout on a WordPress.com site as it was just there by default, then when I realised it wasn't available on my WordPress sites, I had to go get it. Very handy layout...

Very handy layout

Already working really well. It's clean and solid and intuitive. I'm working with it with the Kadence theme and it's excellent. Hope to see this in Gutenberg core soon!

Works really well


The is a more flexible replacement for the standard columns block. If you've ever battled with the standard columns to make multi-column components that adapted at mobile, tablet and desktop then I would definitely recommend this block.

Great block that allows placing and resizing blocks in a more flexible way than the regular columns block. I hope it is continually supported.


Great block!

A Gutenberg container block to let you align items consistently across a global grid.

Bamboo MCR

This plugin provides several shortcodes for organising your content into multi-column layouts. It supports two, three and four column layouts and allows for content to span multiple columns if required.
Usage
Insert the required shortcodes into your content as follows:
2 column layout:
<pre><code> [column-half-1]
 First column of content
 [/column-half-1]
 [column-half-2]
 Second column of content
 [/column-half-2]
</code></pre>
3 column layout:
<pre><code> [column-third-1]
 First column of content
 [/column-third-1]
 [column-third-2]
 Second column of content
 [/column-third-2]
 [column-third-3]
 Third column of content
 [/column-third-3]
</code></pre>
4 Column layout:
<pre><code> [column-quarter-1]
 First column of content
 [/column-quarter-1]
 [column-quarter-2]
 Second column of content
 [/column-quarter-2]
 [column-quarter-3]
 Third column of content
 [/column-quarter-3]
 [column-quarter-4]
 Fourth column of content
 [/column-quarter-4]
</code></pre>
If you want content to span multiple columns you can combine the shortcodes to create a column spans multiple spaces, for example:
<pre><code> 1 Third / 2 Thirds

 [column-third-1]
 First column of content
 [/column-third-1]
 [column-third-2-3]
 Second column of content that spans the second and third columns
 [/column-third-2-3]

 1 Quarter / 2 Quarters / 1 Quarter

 [column-quarter-1]
 First column of content
 [/column-quarter-1]
 [column-quarter-2-3]
 Second column of content that spans the second and third columns
 [/column-quarter-2-3]
 [column-quarter-4]
 Third column of content that occupies the fourth quarter column
 [/column-quarter-4]
</code></pre>
If you need to embed a set of columns within a column, you can do so by adding ‘inner-‘ to the shortcode as follows:
<pre><code> [column-half-1]
 Some Text
 [inner-column-half-1]
 Some more text
 [/inner-column-half-1]
 [inner-column-half-2]
 Even more text
 [/inner-column-half-2]
 [/column half 1]
 [column-half-2]
 The final text
 [/column-half-2]
</code></pre>
You can also change the background colour of a colour by adding an attribute to the shortcode as follows:
<pre><code> [column-half-1 background="e8e8e8"]
</code></pre>
