The Grid One Container To Rule Them All
The Basics Where and How can I use the Grid?
The Grid consists of rows and columns. The row is simply given to the div tag as a class called "row", and it is filled with "columns". There are 12 possible columns in a row, and they are given to the div tag as a class called "span(1-12)". Depending upon the number you choose immediately following the "span" class determines how much space in the row that column or "span" will take up.
The following sections allow Grid syntax: Content Box, Content and Grid Layout. Content and Grid Layout, by default will use Wordpress's built in text editor to define the Grid, while the Content Box will use the Textarea field as the editor.
Careful! Do not use the Content and Grid Layout sections on the same page, as they both use Wordpress's editor and will, thus resulting in duplicate content. If you want to use two Grids on one page, pair the Content or Grid Layout sections with a Content Box section.
Tip:If you are going to use the Grid in a Content Box, utilize Content Box's Content Box Class field to further customize your grid.
The Code In all its prettified glory
<div class="row">
<div class="span4">
<p>Here is some content in the first section of our span4 column!</p>
</div>
<div class="span4">
<p>This content is in another span4 column, and now we are at a total of 8 columns.</p>
</div>
<div class="span4">
<p>This last bit of content is also in a column that spans 4 spaces, so that brings us to the ultimate number of 12.</p>
</div>
</div>
The Code In Action
Below this box is what that funky code up there looks like when it is put into your post, page or content box! If all goes as planned this code will produce a 3 column layout the width of your post or page content section (It is responsive to your website's width!)
Here is some content in the first section of our span4 column!
This content is in another span4 column, and now we are at a total of 8 columns.
This last bit of content is also in a column that spans 4 spaces, so that brings us to the ultimate number of 12.
