[Plugin: WP Easy Columns] leading slash in _end tag maybe a mistake?

    Great Plugin, I gave this a 5 star rating.

    something is a bit strange though for me (it may be some conflict with one of my other installed plugins, but I couldn’t quite figure it out yet):

    If I insert the tags as described:

    1/2 columns
    [wpcol_1half id=”” class=”” style=””][/wpcol_1half]
    [wpcol_1half_end id=”” class=”” style=””][/wpcol_1half_end]

    then the end tag would always print on the page. took me some time to find out, that the end tag without a leading slash works correctly.

    But this applies only for the first row. Any subsequent rows show no objections to the leading slash.

    However, whatever I do, I cannot get a second row of columns to display underneath the first one, without breaking the first row – with subsequent rows, the first row would always display the columns on top of each other, instead of laterally, and then the first column of the second row would display next to the last column of the first row (irrespective of an end tag with leading slash or without). If this sounds too difficult to imagine, here a short visual (e.g. 3 rows with 2 columns each):

    |———|
    | C1/R1 |
    |———|———|
    | C2/R1 | C1/R2 |
    |———|———|
    | C2/R2 |
    |———|———|
    | C1/R3 | C2/R3 | (from here it resumes to ‘normal’)
    |———|———|

    Presently I am a bit short of time to dig deeper and just thought I leave a note here. Maybe someone has some similar observations or a remedy. I will report back once I figure it out.

    Thanks for the great work!

    Oops, seems the monospaced font from the editor doesn’t carry over to the post, hence the garbled display, I try with code tags…

    |---------|
|  C1/R1  |
|---------|---------|
|  C2/R1  |  C1/R2  |
|---------|---------|
|  C2/R2  |
|---------|---------|
|  C1/R3  |  C2/R3  | (from here it resumes to 'normal')

    Thanks for the great work.
    for some reason, it does not work for me. when I tried to create the columns using:
    [wpcol_1quarter id=”” class=”” style=””]Quarter Column[/wpcol_1quarter]
    [wpcol_1quarter id=”” class=”” style=””]Quarter Column[/wpcol_1quarter]
    [wpcol_1quarter id=”” class=”” style=””]Quarter Column[/wpcol_1quarter]
    [wpcol_1quarter_end id=”” class=”” style=””]Quarter Column[/wpcol_1quarter_end]

    the output is not columns but rows, see below:

    Quarter Column
    Quarter Column
    Quarter Column
    Quarter Column

    Is there anyone can help me?

    Thank you very much in advance

    I don’t know if you copied the sample directly form your page – there are <br> (line return or enter) tags in between column shortcodes

    [wpcol_1quarter id="" class="" style=""]Quarter Column[/wpcol_1quarter]<br>
[wpcol_1quarter id="" class="" style=""]Quarter Column[/wpcol_1quarter]

    The column shortcodes cannot have BR between them:
    [wpcol_1quarter id="" class="" style=""]Quarter[/wpcol_1quarter][wpcol_1quarter id="" class="" style=""]Quarter[/wpcol_1quarter] etc
    Check HTML view and delete any br and spaces
    Hope this fixes your problem!
