Genesis Widget Column Classes

Description

As easy as it gets. Add column classes to widgets with a select box, check whether the widget is the first, and save!

I’ve built this plugin for the Genesis Framework, though it will work with any theme that uses the (old) Bootstrap column classes.

You can also add your own classes through various filters to use this plugin with your theme’s grid framework.

Compatibility (IMPORTANT!)

This plugin does NOT add CSS for these columns. It ONLY adds the column classes to your widgets. The actual CSS should be added in your theme.

Filter: `genesis_widget_column_classes`

Allows you to change the available column classes

Parameters: array Default column classes.
Return: array Array of column classes.

Filter: `genesis_widget_column_classes_capability`

Change the capability required to modify column classes.
Since 1.2.2

Default: edit_theme_options
Parameters: string The default capability.
Return: string The new capability.

Filter `genesis_widget_column_classes_select_multiple`

Allow multiple classes to be selected.
Since 1.3
Return: boolean.

You can use these filters inside your theme functions.php file or in a plugin.

Installation of this plugin works like any other plugin out there. Either:

1. Upload and unpack the zip file to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

Or search for “Genesis Widget Column Classes” via your plugins menu.

More trouble than it’s worth

Tried using thirds will not work on my theme the %’s are all wrong, pointless margin left makes the grid look out of place. Easier to write your own CSS.

Simple and Beautiful

Such a simple thing to add column classes to widget, but it makes working with genesis themes so much easier. Haven’t come across any bugs either, it just work. Thanks for the great plugin!
