Title: List formatting Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # List formatting * [screampuff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/screampuff/) * (@screampuff) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-formatting-1/) * Hello, just some questions on formatting. * I would like to have multiple fields displayed in the same column. * For example, the first column would be avatar, second column would be name, email, location, 3rd column would be a bio paragraph. * How do I get 2 fields to appear in the same column? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/amr-users/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/amr-users/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Author [anmari](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anmari/) * (@anmari) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-formatting-1/#post-5716424) * Hi, well you can (use a decimla column number eg: 2.1 and 2.2 etc) but it is ** NOT** recommended with the way that the plugin currently works. It will basically treat everything in the one column as one piece of data. That will impact csv, sorting, filtering, include, exclude etc. It was intended for things like putting first name and last name together as one field – not for arranging the fields in a table. * I assume you are thinking of doing this as a way to format the fields on the screen. You should probably rather use the ‘simply html’ option and then use css to position the data. * This may look better on smaller mobile screens too. * Here is a two-column example.

I will have to look into styling so that I can have 3 divs appear in the same column, but I’m not familiar with the CSS to do that. * On this note is there any format to do table in table? Perhaps using decimal places could allow for that? * Thread Starter [screampuff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/screampuff/) * (@screampuff) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-formatting-1/#post-5716594) * It looks like it will have to be done with the Simple html. * If I wanted 1 user per ‘row’ across the page I could set that div to 100% width, but do you know how I would get other divs to appear on top of each other? * Thread Starter [screampuff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/screampuff/) * (@screampuff) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-formatting-1/#post-5716605) * Sorry to keep commenting, I’ve been trying to figure this out. * So the code looks like this: [http://jsfiddle.net/dqha6tap/17/](http://jsfiddle.net/dqha6tap/17/) I’m at a loss how I could display middle ones on top of each other without creating a second span or div to contain them. Is there any way in the plugin or maybe functions.php I could accomplish that? * Plugin Author [anmari](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anmari/) * (@anmari) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-formatting-1/#post-5716607) * Hi, * if you want that level of control and cannot find a css solution, perhaps you should rather: either: 1) write a pluggable function for amr_display_a_line ( $line, $icols, $cols, $user, $ahtm) * See [http://wpusersplugin.com/2823/formatting-and-pluggable-functions/](http://wpusersplugin.com/2823/formatting-and-pluggable-functions/) * OR * write your own simple query and list plugin for total control. Dont use this one as a base – see wp user query functions (of course you must have ‘nice’ wp user meta data then.) * Thread Starter [screampuff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/screampuff/) * (@screampuff) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-formatting-1/#post-5716644) * Thanks for the suggestion, but that is a bit over my head. * Kind of frustrating, one of my “columns” is a bio paragraph from the user’s buddypress page. Table doesn’t work because everything will need it’s own column, and with the html option I can’t seem to get the formatting right. * Rather than combining the spans into one unique ID when you use decimal points it would be much easier if they were simply placed into the same div container. * Plugin Author [anmari](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anmari/) * (@anmari) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-formatting-1/#post-5716652) * re combining – as noted before – the way it is suited the original intention of it (names etc) * HTML option is better in the long run for use on different devices – small smart phone screens etc. It may be worth investing in some css assistance from somewhere to ensure whatever you come up with is responsive and robust ie: works in the majority of the multitude of browsers out there. * Thread Starter [screampuff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/screampuff/) * (@screampuff) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-formatting-1/#post-5716653) * Thanks, I’ve been searching around and it doesn’t seem like I can accomplish this formatting with CSS alone. * If I want to put items in a column they would need to be wrapped in some kind of (div) container. I’m also not the best at php, but since the spans from this plugin have unique classes there might be a way to assign them to new divs, or maybe it’s possible to do this with the plugin itself? * Plugin Author [anmari](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anmari/) * (@anmari) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-formatting-1/#post-5716666) * Hi – other than repeating myself, I don’t think I can add anymore info.
