by Specia1ne on WordPress.org

Stop guessing how many columns will show on a phone.
Responsive Columns lets you set an exact column count for four breakpoints right inside the core block inspector.

Key features

  • Desktop / Tablet-Landscape / Tablet-Portrait / Mobile
    Pick 1 – 6 columns for each breakpoint.
  • Theme-aware gaps
    Reads --wp--style--block-gap, lets you tweak Gap X and Gap Y without hard-coding pixels.
  • Masonry layout for Query Loop (Grid) — one click, zero jQuery.
  • Works with core/Columns and core/Post Template (Query Loop Grid).
  • Lightweight — one helper class, pure CSS variables; editor JS ≈ 3 kB.

How it works

The plugin adds one class has-s1-rc-columns and these CSS variables:

--s1-rc-columns-mobile-portrait
--s1-rc-columns-mobile-landscape
--s1-rc-columns-tablet-portrait
--s1-rc-columns-tablet-landscape
--s1-rc-columns-desktop /* auto-added for Masonry /
--s1-rc-gap-x / horizontal /
--s1-rc-gap-y / vertical, falls back to X */

Your theme keeps its own display:grid / flex rules —
only grid-template-columns and gaps are overridden inside media queries.

Deactivate the plugin and everything gracefully falls back to the default block behaviour.
