Support » Fixing WordPress » Auto-Wrapping Columns

  • This might be a long shot, but I’m wondering if there is a way—with or without plugins—to create a page that auto-wraps into two columns.

    Example: If I have a page of post summaries, let’s say, and it automatically updates each time I create a new post: a category page, for instance. Is there a way to create a page that is in two columns and automatically flows properly as each new post is added?

    So far, each solution I’ve found either (a) requires incredible template hacks or (b) manually inserted code at desired column breaks.

    I guess what I’m looking for is something that basically creates an opening and closing tag or code or something that says “everything between these two tags should be in two columns that is x-pixels in height. period.”

    Is that even possible?

    Thanks in advance.

    Are you looking to develop a plugin?

    There are plugins to create columns, but it also depends on the theme and template you are using.

    It’s certainly not possible to change the layout of a page without changing the code (either by coding or a plugin), no.

    If I have a page of post summaries, let’s say, and it automatically updates each time I create a new post: a category page, for instance.

    that would generally be a template, and you can program these as you like.

    for instance category.php

    for how to show posts in columns, you have possibly already seen solutions posted here in the forum; details depend on the used theme.
