The Gutenberg Block Editor introduced a way to add columns to your page or post. Using columns can help you add new formatting structures within your content. <\/span>

\r\n \t\t\t \t\t\t \t\t\t\t

\r\n \t\t\t\t\tMake sure you are using the <\/span>Gutenberg Block editor<\/span><\/a>. If you upgraded to <\/span>WordPress 5<\/span><\/a>, then your post and page editor will default to use the Gutenberg editor. If you are still using WordPress 4 (or earlier) or have the <\/span>Classic Editor<\/span><\/a> installed, then your editor will not work with this tutorial.<\/span> \t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n \t\t\t \t\t\t\r\n \t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\n

How to Add Columns to a Post or Page<\/span><\/h3>\n

To add a column, follow these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Log in to the WP admin interface, then navigate to a page or post editor<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Click the plus button in the top navbar\"plus<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Find the <\/span>Columns<\/b> block and click to add it\"columns<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A column block will be added to your page or post. By default, the column block will split the content in the section into two columns.\"columns<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

    How to Add Content Within Column Blocks<\/span><\/h3>\n

    You can add content within the columns. The content will be restricted to the column\u2019s area. \u00a0To add content within columns, follow these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Hover over the column section where you want to add content<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Click the plus button that appears in that section\"plus<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Find the content block you want to add and click it\"columns<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      By completing this process, the content you selected will be added within the column section.\"one<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

      How to Add More than Two Columns<\/span><\/h3>\n

      If you want to have more than two columns on your page and post, you can nest column blocks within a column. <\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Make sure you have already <\/span>added a column block<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n
      2. Hover over the column section where you want to add more columns<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. Click the plus button that appears in that section\"plus<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n
      4. Find the<\/span> Columns<\/b> block and click to add it\"columns<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        This will add two more columns within one of the already existing columns section. This will result in three columns.\"nested<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

        If you wish to have four columns, repeat the process in the other column section that does not yet have nested columns. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
