 * Hello,
 * Is it possible to have one page display albums in a multi column format without
   affecting other pages? I would like to have the page I have shared have 3 columns.
   The page simply has `[wppa type="album" album="35"][/wppa]`
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmulti-column-display%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Max cover width (Table I-D1) is a system global setting and can not be overruled
   by inline settings.
 * What you can do is change the cover type; mcr types are multicover responsive,
   non-mcr do not generate columns.
 * So, make the default covertype non-mcr (Table IV-D6) and overrule on the page
   where you want the multicolumn display as follows:
 *     ```
       [wppa_set name="wppa_cover_type" value="default-mcr"][wppa type="album" album="35"][wppa_set]
       ```
   
 * Note 1: You do no longer need shortcode closing tags like `[/wwp]’ as long as
   you do not mix both ways on the same page and you do not want to put arbitrary
   text in it like Ány comment’.
 * Note 2: For How to use inline setttings read: [https://wppa.nl/docs-by-subject/in-line-settings/](https://wppa.nl/docs-by-subject/in-line-settings/)

 * I think I understand. I made a change in Table IX-A7 and -A8 to facilitate this.
   And it sort of works. I find unless I change all the album cover types, the display
   reverts back to default when you navigate back to the Album as opposed to Page.
 * Also the inline change does not seem to propagate through to sub albums. Actually
   they do if I refresh the page.

 * Yes, your conclusions are right.
 * Changing the covertypes per album is the safest way; it depends on what is convenient
   for you, chaning the default and the other albums covertypes or the other way
   around.
