Title: column-count Last modified: December 15, 2016 --- # column-count * Resolved [ciaramcmichael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ciaramcmichael/) * (@ciaramcmichael) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/column-count-2/) * Hello and thank you, great plugin. Just trying to get the column count working. I’ve got the correct syntax in the shortcode: [a-z-listing post-type=artist column- count=3]. I’ve also copied the a-z-listing.php example file to my theme (studioPress Atmosphere Pro – running on Genesis) but getting no results. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I think I must have not documented the fact, sorry:-(. The solution is: * Copy the file templates/a-z-listing-multi-column.php to your theme at wp-content/ themes/your-theme-name/a-z-listing.php as you said you have done. Open the file and note the two lines at the top which specify the number of columns (`$_a_z_listing_colcount`) and the minimum number of items to include in each column before overflowing to the next when you don’t have many posts (`$_a_z_listing_minpercol`). You can modify the numbers assigned to either of those as you desire. * Getting no results might be a symptom of an incorrect post-type slug, or you have no posts in the post-type you specified. Could you first try removing the column-count=3 parameter to see if that is causing an incompatibility (it isn’t doing anything anyway, as I mentioned I changed the way it works but forgot to document that). If there is still no output, but the letters at the top of the page are present then it is possible that the post-type is incorrect or there are no posts in that post type. If there is no output at all then something more obscure is afoot. If you are getting absolutely nothing at all, even the shell of your theme like the site title and footer, known as a [White Screen Of Death](https://codex.wordpress.org/Common_WordPress_Errors#The_White_Screen_of_Death), then there may be some clues in your server’s error log file. * Thread Starter [ciaramcmichael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ciaramcmichael/) * (@ciaramcmichael) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/column-count-2/#post-8559903) * Daniel, thank you so much for the prompt reply. I’ll try this now. * Thread Starter [ciaramcmichael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ciaramcmichael/) * (@ciaramcmichael) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/column-count-2/#post-8560391) * Hi Daniel, Thanks again, I’ve got this working I think – it’s outputting multiple divs and columns but they don’t seem to be floated/styles. So I *think* the css for this is missing… Or perhaps something in my own stylesheet is overriding it. I’ll figure out! * Plugin Author [Dani Llewellyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diddledani/) * (@diddledani) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/column-count-2/#post-8589287) * You might be running an older version of the plugin that did not output the styes by default. Check that you’re running the latest version to eliminate that as a cause for lack of styling. * Plugin Author [Dani Llewellyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diddledani/) * (@diddledani) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/column-count-2/#post-8671225) * I’m tentatively setting this thread as resolved. If this is incorrect, please comment and I’ll return to help you as best I can 🙂 * [pocquet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pocquet/) * (@pocquet) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/column-count-2/#post-8812749) * Hello Daniel, I uploaded version 1.4.1 of A-Z listing, I copied the multi-columns example in the template and named it a-z-listing.php, but multi-columns do not work. The div are correctly generated according to the parameters in a-z-listing. php but there is no float visualization. Could you help me, please ? I thank you in advance, Anne-Marie * Plugin Author [Dani Llewellyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diddledani/) * (@diddledani) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/column-count-2/#post-8812799) * Hi Anne-Marie, * I’ve not tested the multiple columns layout as much as the rest of the plugin, so I might have neglected to get the styling correct when I changed some CSS code recently. I’m just looking now and will report back – I think I will probably need to cut a new release with any fixes for you to upgrade to. * Plugin Author [Dani Llewellyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diddledani/) * (@diddledani) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/column-count-2/#post-8813070) * ok, I did need to roll a new version, so you should be able to upgrade to 1.5.0 shortly when it becomes available. This version will fix the styling – there were two issues: 1. Styling not loading at all when shortcode used 2. Styling not correctly laying out the multiple columns * [pocquet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pocquet/) * (@pocquet) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/column-count-2/#post-8813460) * Daniel, thanks a lot for your prompt reply, I appreciate. So, I will wait for your new version, no problem :O) Anyway, your plugin is exactly what I needed, and I thank you for that.

Updated a-z-listing . php by adding a class to `
