Four-column grid on desktop with Responsive Columns panel open.
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.
