Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Easy Widget Columns

This plugin only works with registered sidebars that have an HTML element assigned to the before_widget and after_widget parameters. If these parameters are empty, the plugin will not work. In addition, the before_widget parameter must have a class attribute associated with it so the plugin can inject the column classes accordingly. For more information, please refer to this page in the Codex: Function Reference/register_sidebar.
Yes, in addition to the column classes assigned to each widget, the plugin adds the following HTML markup around each row which is useful for clearing floats and styling purposes: <div id="widget-row-{number}" class="widget-row"> <div class="wrap"> [my widgets...] </div> </div>
The default value of 'None' has no effect on your widget's markup while the '1/1' option adds the full-width class and assigns the corresponding markup in the front-end. The '1/1' option can be useful when assigning only one widget per row, or multiple full-width widgets.
To define new rows, use the 'Widget Row' widget at the start of each new row. If the next widget after a row has a value of 'None', then you'll need to add a 'Widget Row' widget before it to close the row. The only time you don't have to use the 'Widget Row' widget is when the last widget in a row is also the last widget in your widget area or sidebar. To define new sub-rows within a widget row use the 'Sub-Row' widget at the start of each new sub-row. The Sub-Row widget only works within a widget row and has no effect when used outside of a widget row. Note: Please make sure that each widget inside each row has a 'Column width' value other than 'None' assigned to it, otherwise the HTML markup will break in the front-end.
