FAQ

What browsers are supported?

The grid works well in modern browsers:
Chrome 79+, Firefox 76+, Edge 79+, Safari 16+.

Adaptability starts working only with:
Chrome 106+, Firefox 110+, Edge 106+, Safari 16+.

The information is obtained based on a comparison of the support of the CSS features used: CSS Grid, CSS math function min(), CSS function repeat(), CSS Container Queries.

Are the adaptability settings working strangely?

The Min and Max values in the adaptivity settings “Spacing between cells” and “Padding of cells” are set in px and indicate the width of the Autogrid container, not the width of the viewport.

The Min and Max values in the adaptability settings of the “Cell Size” are set in integers and literally indicate the number of columns displayed when the rule should be applied.

I only tested this plugin for about 10 minutes, but that was enough for me to come here and give it my 2 word review:Pure Genius !!! Ok, some more details: Before this plugin in order for me to achieve some complex multi “row” layouts, with different “cell” sizes, I have to setup multiple Columns blocks, and group them together. Even though with the Columns setup, you have more precise control for the column sizes, this plugin simplifies things a lot. Also, considering that this plugin is only 75kb in size, a rare sight nowadays, I am extremely happy and impressed with this – so far… If any issues arise, I will report back. Thank you for this plugin !
