 * Hi! I’ve just set up the projects plugin and added 9 projects, however they seem
   to be duplicating on the page so that it shows 18 projects.
 * I’ve added in the shortcode:
    `[projects limit="9" columns="3" orderby="date"
   order="desc"]` as I would like it to be laid out in 3 columns. This seems to 
   be the reason its duplicating as it fixes itself when I remove it.
 * Can you tell me how to fix this or an alternative way to lay it out in 3 columns
   please?
 * I’ve also changed the css a little:
 *     ```
       .projects ul.projects li.project, .projects-page ul.projects li.project {
       margin: 0 0 2.618em;
       padding: 0;
       width: 30%;
       float: left;
       margin-right: 3.8%;
       }
       ```

 * Many thanks!

 * Hey,
 * There is a bug with the CSS which has been addressed for the next release, but
   you’ve solved that for yourself already anyway.
 * I’m not sure why you’re seeing projects duplicated. I don’t suppose you added
   the shortcode to your projects page? That would explain it if so. The projects
   page will display projects by default – no need to add the shortcode.
 * Thanks

 * thanks for your quick reply! I did add the shortcode to the projects page as 
   I couldn’t figure out how to lay out the projects in 3 columns without this. 
   Can you tell me how to set it up in 3 columns without using the shortcode please?

 * Hey,
 * Then that explains why you’ve got duplicate projects 😉
 * To change the layout on project archives you’ll need [this snippet](http://docs.woothemes.com/document/change-the-number-of-project-columns-on-archives/).
