Description
Who can benefit from the plugin GM Adaptive CSS Grid Columns? (Short: GM Grid)
The plugin is made to help everyone who wants to have an easy, lightweight and worry-free solution to set up a maximum grid count on their website.
Of course, you can have fewer columns as those you have defined. They will automatically take the right percentage like 33.3%, 50% or even 100% of the available width.
Do I have to know CSS?
Absolutely not! Especially beginners and non-coders will start to love this plugin soon.
Hold on, not another plugin, what happens to my page speed?
Don’t panic, we took care of this by keeping this plugin lightweight and the CSS is minified by default.
Important Notice:
The plugin only works if you correctly identify and target the parent, and it’s direct child elements. Otherwise, the plugin can’t work.
Recommended page builder are Bricks, Oxygen and Breakdance.
How to use:
The setup is quite simple. Basically, you just add two CSS classes to your elements and the plugin does the magic for you.
Make sure to add the following classes to the container and direct child elements. Use a DIV instead of a section, container, or block
to avoid conflicting predefined styles.
Parent/Container Element class: grid-container
Child Element class: grid-item
Additionally, there is one more CSS class available. By using grid-center on your parent (container) element, you achieve three things.
1. The container will be centred on the page
2. Add your desired width (in rem)
3. Add horizontal spacing across all break points
Minimum Setup:
- Define the maximum column count for your medium and large screen size.
- Add the desired gap size (in rem)
- Define the medium and large breakpoint (in em).
Save!

Why is the small break point missing?
