Adding Columns in WordPress Without Plugins
WordPress offers a versatile platform for creating and displaying content, and one of the most effective ways to enhance your posts and pages is through the use of columns. By organizing your information into columns, you can provide a more engaging reading experience for your audience. In this guide, we’ll explore how to add columns in WordPress without the need for any plugins.
Using the Columns Block
The WordPress Block Editor includes a built-in Columns Block that allows you to easily add multiple columns to your content. Here’s a step-by-step on how to use it:
- Open the Block Editor and click on the + icon to add a new block.
- Search for “Columns” and select the Columns Block.
- Choose from the available column variations:
- One column
- Two columns (equal split)
- Two columns (one-third, two-third split)
- Two columns (two-third, one-third split)
- Three columns (equal split)
- Three columns (wide center column)
For instance, if you decide to add two columns with an equal split, the layout will look like this:
Once the columns are set up, you can add content by clicking the + sign within each column. You can insert various types of content just as you would in a regular block.
By clicking on the entire Columns Block, you can access additional settings that allow you to increase the number of columns up to six in a single row.
Adding Columns Using the Table Block
If you prefer a different method, you can also create columns using the Table Block. Here’s how:
- Click on the add block button and search for “Table”.
- Specify the number of rows and columns you need, then click the Create Table button.
If your goal is to create columns only, set the number of columns and keep the row number to one. Once the table is created, you can fill in your content. However, note that the Table Block is limited to text content; you cannot add images or buttons within this format.
Using these methods, you can easily create columns in WordPress without requiring any plugins. If you want to integrate different types of content, such as images or buttons, you might consider using a plugin like Tableberg for more flexibility.
