 * Hello Support. No matter what I do with the shortcocde for displaying links, 
   I can only get one single column. This is fine for the carousel, but not so much
   for Grid, List, Compact List. As an example, the following does not display into
   three columns…
 * [wp_links_page display=”grid” cols=”3″ num=”15″ pager=”pagination” load_more=”
   View More” orderby=”date” img_size=”large” title=”display” title_style=”font-
   weight: bold; font-size: 18px; text-align: left” desc=”content”]
 * I tried using single quotes around the variables, but no joy. Any insight will
   be sincerely appreciated.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblems-with-shortcode-5%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello Rico,
 * I realize I did not express the problem as well as possible.
 * I was trying for a 3 column layout. Here are the variables… display=”grid” cols
   =”3″. Instead, I get as many columns as there are links in an ever expanding 
   row. Items do not start new rows at 3, 6, etc.
 * Your help will be appreciated.

 * Hello,
    Remove the pagination Var from shortcode, pager=”pagination” load_more
   =”View More” and it should resolve the problem. EX:
 * [wp_links_page display=”grid” cols=”3″ num=”15″ orderby=”date” img_size=”large”
   title=”display” title_style=”font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px; text-align: 
   left” desc=”content”]
 * Do you have the free or pro version installed?
