Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Lightweight Grid Columns

Make sure Lightweight Grid Columns is activated. While editing your post or page, go into the "Visual Editor". Look for the columns icon (see screenshots tab). Choose your desktop, tablet and mobile grid widths. If you're adding the last column in a row, check the "Last" checkbox (this is important).
Fair enough! Simply add the shortcode to your content. For example, the below will output 4 columns on desktop, 2 columns on tablet and 1 column on mobile [lgc_column grid="25" tablet_grid="50" mobile_grid="100"]Some content[/lgc_column] [lgc_column grid="25" tablet_grid="50" mobile_grid="100"]Some content[/lgc_column] [lgc_column grid="25" tablet_grid="50" mobile_grid="100"]Some content[/lgc_column] [lgc_column grid="25" tablet_grid="50" mobile_grid="100" last="true"]Some content[/lgc_column] Take note of our last column - see the last="true" part? Don't forget ;)
This is taken directly from (http://unsemantic.com): There are grid classes named grid-x where "x" is a number that represents the percentage width of each grid unit. These cover multiples of 5, up to 100 (grid-5, grid-10 ... grid-95, grid-100). There are also classes for dividing a page into thirds: grid-33 and grid-66 which are 33.3333% and 66.6667% wide, respectively.
Yes! You can use: class [lgc_column grid="25" tablet_grid="50" mobile_grid="100" class="push-25"]Some content[/lgc_column] style [lgc_column grid="25" tablet_grid="50" mobile_grid="100" style="padding-left:0px;"]Some content[/lgc_column] equal_heights By default, JS equal heights are set to "true". [lgc_column grid="25" tablet_grid="50" mobile_grid="100" equal_heights="true"]Some content[/lgc_column]
