 * Ho,
 * I created a block with two columns and inserted an image of 250×250 size and 
   set the image dimensions to be 50% from the block settings.
 * The image column is set at 20% width and the other column is set at 80% width.
   But each column seem to be taking 50% of the page width instead.
 * Please help find where the issue is..
 * Thanks

 * Hello,
 * It appears your theme has changed the column container’s CSS display property
   from the default `display: flex` to `display: grid`, that’s why the width option
   is not working, as the `flex-basis` which WordPress uses to set the width of 
   each column only works with flex, not grid.
 * To fix this, place this CSS code in APPEARANCE => CUSTOMIZE => ADDITIONAL CSS.
 *     ```
       .wp-block-columns {
       display: flex !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Good luck!
