How to edit number of columns by default in shop?

hightechlowlife · March 2015

Love the theme, I'm running into an issue adjusting the 'theme-woocommerce.php' file to reflect a change of 3 to four columns by default in the shop area. I really believe this number is something that should be accessible from the BeTheme options area, but I went into the file (theme-woocommerce.php) to modify this line:

add_filter( 'loop_shop_columns', create_function( false, 'return 3;' ) );

Changed the 3 to a 4, yet there are still three columns appearing by default in the shop (product category views, etc). Help?

Hey,

the only place where you can setup layout for shop is Theme options > Getting started > Shop section.

Thanks!

So, we're stuck with 3 columns by default everywhere?

edit:

My other solution was to inject CSS and control columns like that, taking the !important rule on 3 columns away. It seems the theme should observe the columns="" shortcode, and additionally have an option somewhere to change the WooCommerce default columns bit.

Yes, it is possible to use 3 columns by default. We can consider this feature while future updates but at this moment it's not possible.

Loving the 4 column layout!

We're glad to hear this.

Hi,

Thanks for the 4 column layout.

Anyway, is it possible to change the 1 column layout to 2 column layout in mobile view (responsive)?

Thanks.

@racetech888 No, it is not possible unfortunately.

Hi,

Can I change to 6 column layout by coding and how to do it? If possible, please advise in details as I'm not a coder. I know that the default setting is 3 or 4 column layout.

Thanks,
Hoang Kien

@n_hoangkien Sorry but this will be not possible. We do not support direct code changes in the theme files.

How can the Masonry shop layout be set from 3 columns to 4? I cannot find this in the theme settings...

Help appreciated.

ramonvermij,

Please go to Theme Options > Blog, Portfolio & Shop > Shop

There you will have a layout for shop pages, the one you're looking for is "Grid 4 col"

Hi Pablo,

Thank you for your reply. I tried that setting, but it keeps a straight similar height for all columns. I look for a Masonry setting with 4 columns instead of 3... How can this be achieved?

Thanks

It's not possible with BeTheme options to change it.
You would have to edit theme files + woocoomerce plugins files.

Unfortunately, We do not support such modifications.
Thanks.

Any chance this feature can be added? Currently I have coded in 6 columns, but it would be nice if there was an option in the admin.
