Grid shortcodes: [row][/row], [column][/column], [col][/col]

You can divide you content in columns by using the row, column and col shortcodes. col is just an alias of the column shortcode, so you can use whichever feels right to you. You need to wrap a set of columns in a row. Each row takes up the full width of the content area and is divided in 12 columns. For each column you define, you need to specify how many columns it will span so they all add up to 12. For example, you can have one column spanning 12 columns, or two columns spanning 6 each, or two columns spanning 4 and 8, or 12 columns spanning 1.

row – Available attributes

• none

column, col – Available attributes

• desktop – Number of columns for the medium breakpoint ‘md‘.
• tablet – Number of columns for the small breakpoint ‘sm‘.
• mobile – Number of columns for the extra small breakpoint ‘xs‘. Default ‘12‘
• class – Additional classes for the generated wrapper. Useful for applying styles and/or targeting in custom styles.
• id – An optional HTML id value for the generated wrapper. Useful for targeting in custom styles.

Examples

Two equal rows

---

Three equal rows

---

Two unequal rows on deskop, equal on tablets.

Nested columns

WordPress can’t handle nested shortcodes of the same name. So, you can’t really do:

We have made available, however, the same row and column shortcodes prefixed with one and two undescores, so for each nesting level (up to two) you just ads an underscore. E.g.:

The additionally available shortcodes are: _row, __row, _column, __column, _col, __col

Compatibility with pre-v2.0 versions

The older shortcodes one_half, one_half_last, one_third, one_third_last, two_thirds, two_thirds_last are now deprecated. Although they are mapped to the new column shortcode for compatibility, it’s not possible to automatically wrap them in a row. So, results will vary from installation to installation, and even from post to post. If you are having troubles with the layout of these old shortcodes, try wrapping them in a [row][/row] shortcode.

Common attributes.

Predefined color schemes.

Any shortcode that accepts an attribute named ‘scheme‘ can accept any one of the following values: blue, red, yellow, orange, purple, pink, brown, green, grey, white, black.

color

All attributes in every shortcode that accept a CSS color value, usually named ‘something_color’ can accept any of these color formats:

• Hexadecimal: #000000 to #ffffff upper-case or lower-case. Shorthand notation is not allowed, i.e. #000 to #fff
• rgb(): rgb($r, $g, $b) – Where $r $g and $b is a number 0-255 or a percentage 0%-100%
• rgba(): rgba($r, $g, $b, $a) – As above, and $a between 0-1.
• hsl(): hsl($h, $s, $l) – Where $h 0-360, $s and $l 0%-100%.
• hsla(): hsla($h, $s, $l, $a) – As above, and $a between 0-1 (decimal values allowed).
• Any one of the following keywords: transparent, initial, inherit, black, silver, gray, white, maroon, red, purple, fuchsia, green, lime, olive, yellow, navy, blue, teal, aqua

Please note that common names between the predefined colors above and the color schemes, doesn’t necessarily translate to the same color values.

spin_icon

Where a spin_icon attribute is available, valid values are: ‘true‘, ‘spin‘.
Furthermore, a ‘spin‘ value can be placed by itself as a shorthand, without the need for the attribute name.

Examples

The following shortcodes are all identical:

They all produce:

Some text

border_width

Shortcodes that have a border_width property, can accept any valid CSS shorthand border-width value:

• One to four CSS units of length.
• Any one of the following keywords: thin, medium, thick, initial, inherit

Examples

---

---

corners

Shortcodes that have a corners property, can accept any valid CSS shorthand border-radius value:

• One to four CSS units of length, optionally followed by a forward slash ‘/‘ and one to four CSS units of length.
• Any one of the following keywords: initial, inherit

Examples

---

---

Length Units

Any property that requires a CSS unit of length accepts a number immediately followed by one of the following units: px, %, em, rem, ex, ch, vh, vw, vmin, vmax, mm, cm, in, pt, pc

Decimal numbers expressed in pixels (px) may or may not work depending on each browser’s handling, they are however accepted by the plugin.

Examples

• 1px
• 0.5em
• 1.2rem

---

Compatibility Mode

It’s quite common for users to have installed more than one shortcodes plugins, or for themes to provide their own shortcodes. When this happens, chances are that some shortcodes overlap, and more often than not, you end up having shortcodes that you can’t be sure where are they getting their styles and markup from.

Just go into the plugin’s settings panel, check the Compatibility Mode checkbox and Save Changes. You’ve just future-proofed your posts! All shortcodes now require a prefix of ‘ci-‘ minimizing the risk of collision with other shortcode providers. For example, instead of [button]Hello[/button] you should now write [[ci-button]Hello[/button]]
