# Display 3 columns

 * Hi,
 * I’m using the default WordPress gallery (medium images with thumbnail grid), 
   and it’s been displaying fine in 3 columns. However, suddenly it reverts to 2
   columns. This happens even when I reduce the image sizes to thumbnail size – 
   so, there’s plenty of room, but the images still ‘wrap’.
 * When the page first loads, the 3 columns are there, but then it suddenly reverts
   to 2. Any ideas? I’m not sure if this is a theme problem or a problem with WordPress.
 * Thanks,
 * Gareth.

 * Hello woodpig,
 * Add below css code into your current active child theme’s style.css file or you
   can add it additional css option into theme customizer.
 * `
    .gallery-columns-3 .gallery-item { width: 26.83%; padding: 0; }
 * Hope this will helps you.
 * Thanks !

 * Brilliant! That worked perfectly. Thank you so much!
 * I’m still not sure why it happened though – seemed to be working perfectly a 
   few days ago.d

 * Thanks again for your help [@addweb-solution-pvt-ltd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/addweb-solution-pvt-ltd/)!
 * [@woodpig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/woodpig/): Did you install any
   plugins prior to noticing the change? A good first troubleshooting step is usually
   to deactivate any plugins one by one to see if there’s third-party code conflicting
   with the theme.

 * Hi Sioghan,
 * Thanks for the suggestion. That may very well be the case. I’ve had a number 
   of minor problems with the site lately, so have been trying out various plugins
   to solve some of them. Addweb’s code works for now, so I won’t tinker while it’s
   working! However, I’ll bear your suggestion in mind for the future, when I have
   more time to investigate.
 * Best wishes,
 * Gareth.
