    Hi,
    Can anyone advise on managing columns? I want a 4 column image and a 8 column text area on the homepage. Firstly, what framework does Storefront use?

    I can’t seem to do it using gutenberg and had to install classic to for simple div editing.
    I did try a plugin called Bootstrap Blocks for Gitenberg but could only get 2 or 3 equal columns.

    Or advice on a page builder that works with Storefront?

    Trying to get something along the lines of this…
    <div class=”container-fluid”>
    <div class=”row”>
    <div class=”col-sm-4″></div>
    <div class=”col-sm-8″>
    <h2 class=”color-primary”>We’ve got your new favourite products</h2>
    </div>

    Hi, I thought the support for this theme/template would be better supported but after nearly 4 days without a reply I find it a little deserting.

    With that in mind, after many hours trying to work out what is the best solution for greater control over column management, I have found Kadence Blocks to be very useful and seems to work well in conjunction with Guntenberg and this theme.

    Now I only have less problem to solve.

    Hi @pantsman28,

    Firstly, what framework does Storefront use?

    I’m not 100% sure what you mean by that? If it helps clarify, Storefront was built/started off of the Underscores theme. It has changed plenty though from what is essentially a starter framework to build from with Underscores.

    Nonetheless, regarding a grid framework Storefront uses something called Susy to help create it’s layout/grid system. Perhaps that’s what you were wondering about?

    Either way, as you’ve started doing your best bet is to use a plugin that adds a block to let you create columns as needed in your posts and pages. Maybe you’d already tried it, but there is a default column block. I was able to create 4 and 8 column areas with it.

    @ryanr14
    Thanks. Having never used Storefront before I was unsure what was controlling the responsive grid elements. I recently, only found out it was built off the Underscores theme.
    Normally, I only every use bootstrap 3/4 but found Kadence Blocks very useful addition to the clumsy Guntenberg which again I am still trying to get used to.

    I will look into Susy for the grid layout.

    Much appreciate the reply.
