Future updates for columns and layout options??

Hey all, just wondering, are there any plans to make NewsMag more versatile say using a 6 column grid or a 12 column grid?? That way any combination of doing either three columns, two columns, six columns, four columns etc layout would be possible. That’s the one major flaw for this theme, the 3col base grid set up which means majority of the layouts that come standard with visual composer aren’t even applicable. I hope though that somewhere on the horizon you guys will make the base grid one that’s more versatile (ideally a 12 column grid as that is divisible in multiple ways and will still allow NewsMag to look and function as it does right now).

Am I the only one hoping for this change?

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestion!
Unfortunately this is not so easy. We don’t plan to change the grid but will consider your suggestion if we decide different in the future. You can use all other VC layout just for some cases you need to make other adjustments.

Thanks again for your suggestion and for your understanding!

Hey Lucian, thanks. I hope you guys take it into consideration as that would really help..

In the meantime then, if I wanted a two column layout in my posts how do I accomplish that?

Hi,

You can use the page builder on posts then set the 2 columns layout then add your post content using the VC text block element like this: http://screencast.com/t/6xgTi4cMvpS
Also make sure you don’t use a sidebar.
You should get this result: http://screencast.com/t/egDMPwbkuqM
Hope this helps!

Thanks

Awh see that’s what I mean. I don’t only want two columns in a fullwidth layout I need that option also when a sidebar is present on the post.

I’m really hoping future development will allow a more flexible grid indeed.

Hi,

As I said before, we will consider this. You can also use a sidebar with the columns layout: http://screencast.com/t/L3SkmJxe
