3 columns of posts in Baskerville Theme
-
When I first activated this theme, it showed three columns filled with my posts underneath my menu. Now it will only show two columns. How do I get it to show three again?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The Baskerville theme is responsive, meaning it will adapt to your screen size/screen resolution. So on bigger screens you will see three columns, medium screens two columns and on small screens only one column.
So if you want to see three columns again:
- Move to a bigger screen.
- Or: resize the browser so it shows more content
I hope this helps!

Michael

I have a giant screen and unfortunately one column is all that is showing up. I’m about to give up on Baskerville.

@claytonbrown2, I don’t see Baskerville on any of the site associated with your username.
See our Baskerville Theme Showcase page and read under Page Templates. To get the grid of posts, you need to set the page template to Contributors.

Thanks. I ended up canceling my page. I found the setup to be confusing and not intuitive – nowhere was there any indication of needing to set a template to contributors, nor was there any indication of a way to do it. I do appreciate your answer to my question, however.

You are welcome.
The setup information for Baskerville is in the Theme Showcase page (link in my previous post). It gives all the basics if you wish to try again. And for theme set up and use questions, you can always ask in the Themes Forum.
If you have further questions or problems, please let us know.

Well, somehow I missed that info. It makes it pretty clear! Thank you for the redirect. Might try it again, but looks like multiple contributors is the way I can get multiple columns, and I am the only contributor, so that theme is prob not a good fit for me anyway. Unfortunately I think a straight-up web page is the way for me to go since I can’t find a theme that does what I want (static front page with multiple columns and lots of images for a filmmaking website). I will check out the Themes Forum. Thanks again.

Hi @claytonbrown2, you may want to look at the themes we have listed under the Subject of Video to see if one of those might work for you, if you haven’t already.
If they aren’t going to fulfill your needs and you go with a different solution, I wish you the best of luck.

Hi —
Thanks for the link. Unfortunately all I can do is a free theme, and none of the ones in the selection you linked to is right for me.
Bottom line, here’s what I want: a static page with a black background, a simple large full-width header image (with no gravatar or text or graphic element in it), and three columns of CONTENT, not posts. I also want multiple static pages so I can link to them from the columns.
Am I crazy? Do you have anything like that?
I’ve tried three times now to get a page up and running how I like, and three times I’ve quit in frustration. I know wordpress is supposed to be easy, and I’m a reasonably tech savvy person, but it’s making me pull my hair out. Something is always wrong: the header pictures resize incorrectly or are misplaced and look nothing like the demo image, the theme won’t let me have a simple black background, there is an annoying gravatar where I don’t want it, I can’t lay out the page how I’d like, or there is an annoying design element (like a colored square right in the middle of the header image – what the heck?) I’ve tried about eleven different layouts and none of them work as they appear in the demo images.
Granted, I’m using free ones, so I suppose I can only complain so much. I’ve spent many hours trying to get a wordpress site to look like I want, and unfortunately I’m going to have to go back to Adobe Muse and design one from scratch. I find wordpress to be FAR more complicated than building a site in Muse! Perhaps if someone could walk me through something it would work but I know that won’t happen.
I will say both of the “happiness engineers” that have contacted me have been very kind.
Regarding the three column layout in Baskerville, someone else said it had something to do with setting up multiple contributors, which is something I don’t want.
Sorry for venting in frustration!
Thank you!

You know, Gateway lets you set a feature tag that will display on a static home page that is set to the Home Page template, but it only shows three pages (or posts), and only shows an excerpt instead of complete page content.
Sela has a Grid Page Template which will show child pages (of that page set to the grid template) in a grid on that page.
Sequential, like Sela has a Grid Template that will show all child pages of that Grid Page with a title and an excerpt and a read more links.
Goran and Edin also include a Grid Page Template that shows the child pages of that Grid page with excerpts and read more links.
That was a quick pass through and you may want to take a look at those and see if any of them would work for you. The setup information for each of them is included on the Theme Showcase pages that I have provided.

OK. Thank you so much for all the helpful information! I will definitely check those out and maybe get something that works for me.
Really appreciate your taking the time!
