Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Three Column Screen Layout

This plugin splices additional metaboxes into the editor output buffer, using stylesheets for new screen layouts.

The light-grey area is the main text editor - this cannot be moved nor can panels be moved into it. The dark grey areas are drop targets that you can drop editor panels into.

These are drop targets for the layout you have selected - drop an editor panel into them, or choose a different layout from the screen options menu.

Layouts will revert to two columns on narrower windows. For example: the "Main with three sidebars" layout needs a browser window at least 1422px wide to display all three sidebars. If your window is magnified it will need to be even wider.

First make sure you are editing a post or page, then ensure your browser window is wide enough to show at least two columns, as wordpress automatically hides the screen layout options if the window is too narrow.

This plugin relies on specific editor elements to be present for it splice in the extra columns. Other installed plugins may alter the editor output before its had a chance to locate them, in which case the extra columns will not be displayed.

Try dragging the panel to the top of the column, or over the last panel in that column. This is default wordpress behaviour - sometimes you just need to nudge it a little!

Prior to WP 3.9 the wysiwyg buttons did not wrap to the next line, and will be cut-off on narrower displays. Try a different layout, widen your browser window, or update Wordpress.

This is default Wordpress behavior. The option has not changed, just reload the page after you've arranged the panels and it will display correctly.

If you have another plugin that modifies the menu size or other margins then the panels may overlap, as the stylesheet is configured to work at default sizes.
