I’ll be fixing this soon. Sorry for the delay, as some heavy projects are demanding my time. I’ll release a fix ASAP!

Are you getting the error in pages or in the admin area? It should still operate as always on the pages/posts.

In a template, you can add the code for shortcodes with: do_shortcode() and the info on that WP function is here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/do_shortcode

Hope that helps!

Yup, this is on the list for the next update!

You can add a class to the columns or inline style just for this purpose. In the column shortcode, just add class="your-custom-class-name" to each column. Then in the Easy Columns options page, you can add the CSS for that class in the custom CSS box.

This way you can preserve the formatting and layout for the rest of your columns. Hope that helps!

Figured it out – you removed the shortcode [su_button] and changed it to [button] with NO backwards compatability. VERY bad form! Now I’ve got to run through my database and change every instance on multiple pages, or go page by page to fix it.

PLEASE don’t do this in the future. This is a good plugin, but this is causing me a LOT of work.

I think the problem lies in the fact that the columns automatically float left. If you do wrap them in a <div>, you may want to do it like this:

<div style=”margin: 0 auto;text-align:center;”>
… columns …
</div>

and in the easy columns options, set the style to:

.ezcol {
text-align:left !important;
}

That *Should* help. I’m doing that myself on a sales page. I’m actually wrapping things in a 100% width div so it stretches across the page, then that wraps a div that’s centered with a max-width of 980px. Inside that are my columns. Seems to work well right now in all browsers.

I’m going to be adding an update that’ll let you basically nest the <div> shortcodes by adding: ezdiv1-ezdiv5 so you can have this:

[ezdiv]
[ezdiv1]…[/ezdiv1]
[/ezdiv]

Tested and working nicely. I’ll be updating here in a couple days once I get my other project put to bed. Hope that helps!

What version are you using? The most current version of Easy Columns shouldn’t have this issue.

I’m pretty sure that it isn’t Easy Columns (my plugin). But try this – FTP into the site and rename your plugin folder. That will disable your plugins, and you can hopefully login.

Once you’ve done that, you can add your plugins back one at a time, activate, then see if you have any login issues. It’s a slow process, but once you’ve found the culprit, it’s easy enough to disable that one plugin and load the rest. Hope that helps!

Oops! That seems to be because I’m hiding the clear fix <div> at lower screen sizes – clearly I shouldn’t be.

For a quick fix, edit the Easy Column Options and paste this into the Custom CSS:

@media all and (max-width: 768px) {
	.ezcol-last + .ezcol-divider {
		clear: both !important;
		display: block !important;
		margin-bottom: 0px !important;
		padding-top: 0px !important;
		width: 100% !important;
		background: none !important;
	}
}

That *should* provide a fix for the wandering banner until I get an update pushed out. As for Safari, there is no love lost between Safari and I – it seems to be extremely cranky even when Internet Explorer is playing nice. I’ll have to debug the background problem a little bit more.

Sorry for the trouble!

I believe we have this fixed in the latest release. Please let me know how it works for you. Thanks!

Awesome, I love seeing my plugin in action!

Natsumi,
It sounds like you’re experiencing a small bug that other users have got going on. I did check out the site (wonderful design by the way), and it looks like you’ve got a lot of funky layout going on. I’ll check and make sure that custom styles are being applied, but you may also want to create custom classes for your columns and apply them that way, as the settings make the changes global for all easy columns – well they will when I fix the apparent bug!

I’ll be rolling in updates this week, so please keep an eye out for a new version.

I’ll look into it ASAP. I have several updates to roll in this week so look for an update.

Nope, I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong – I probably have a bug in the code somewhere. Let’s take this offline – please email me pfriedl_at_gmail.com with a temp login to the site and I’ll see if I can find out what’s wrong and fix it ASAP.

David,
Could you tell me which columns you’re having issues with? I hit the site, and I didn’t see any custom widths in the columns. Beautiful site by the way.
