Descripción
When activated this plugin allows Gravity Forms elements to be split into columns. To implement the columns three new elements (Row Start, Column Break, and Row End) which are introduced into the Gravity Forms administration area in a group labelled as Multiple Columns Fields.
For each form, in its form settings it is possible to enable and disable the plugin’s CSS and JS that are used by the plugin. The CSS file is responsible for the layout of the form, and the JS file is used to remove unwanted spacing generated if using conditional logic to hide form elements. It is advised to keep the CSS enabled at all times, but the JS should only be enabled in the case of hidden elements through the use of conditional logic.
** Note: Plugin no longer supports initial column specification using Sections in versions 2 and before. If updating plugin from a version prior to version 3, the form will need to be recreated with the current design definitions.**
Note: If updating from version 3.0.3 or earlier. If the columns are not displaying as expected, first please visit the Form Settings for each form and check the Enable CSS checkbox.

FAQ
-
I have updated from an earlier version, where have my columns gone?
-
For each Gravity Form that you had prior to update, please visit the Form Settings for each and check the Enable CSS checkbox.
-
How many columns can I make?
-
We’ve tested 2 up to 10 columns. Theoretically you can have more, although this will depend on your theme and the amount of screen space you have.
-
Could you give an example of how I would create 3 columns on a single row?
-
Add a Row Start field. Add the field/s that are to be contained in the first column. Add a Column Break field. Add the field/s that are to be contained in the second column. Add a Column Break field. Add the field/s that are to be contained in the third column. Add a Row End field.
-
Could you give an example of how I would create 1 row with 2 columns, then a second row with 3 columns?
-
Add a Row Start field. Add the field/s that are to be contained in the first column. Add a Column Break field. Add the field/s that are to be contained in the second column. Add a Row End field Add a Row Start field. Add the field/s that are to be contained in the first column. Add a Column Break field. Add the field/s that are to be contained in the second column. Add a Column Break field. Add the field/s that are to be contained in the third column. Add a Row End field.
-
Is it possible to disable the default CSS and the JS from the plugin?
-
It is possible to stop the loading of these files from within the settings of the individual form. It must be noted that much of the column splitting functionality is defined by the inclusion of the CSS stylesheet. The JS file includes functionality to maintain layout integrity (removes spacing that is generated by hidden fields) when using conditional logic to hide field elements in a form.
-
How do I ensure that a new row will occur at the end of my columns?
-
The Row End field will default to ending a given row.
-
I am not seeing columns on the front end, after adding Multiple Column elements to my form
-
Check the form settings, and ensure that the Enable CSS checkbox has been checked, and save the form. If the Enable CSS checkbox is checked, please uncheck it, save the form, recheck it, and resave. Then try again.
-
Can I use this plugin with multisite?
-
Yes.
