How to Keep Columns on Mobile in Divi

[@Paynologic]

There is much easier way to keep columns in Divi. Go to the Row Settings > Advanced > Custom CSS > Main Element & add display: flex;

[@sethagee502]

Brilliant! Thank you so much! none of the other fixes were working for me!! Of course, when it comes to CSS, I'm kinda lost, but following every step, I still couldn't get these to work!

[@Paynologic]

@@sethagee502 I'm glad I could help.

[@ItsNicoleD]

Awesome! Perfect and simple.

[@breynerjimeneznoy]

Thanks a lot!

[@cutesuperkat]

Thank you so much

[@davyatu9769]

I barely comment on KZbin videos, but for this one my conscience told me that I had to! You're a hero, brother. Thank you so much for everything and keep it up.

[@JoshHallco]

Thanks Davy :)

[@bonorbitz]

Why is it still this way almost one year later? Why hasn't Divi incorporated this functionality into the Visual Builder?

[@Biglex524]

what's worse is that Josh is the only person on youtube to describe right, the guy from elegant themes videos fucking sucks at explaining things.

[@eikoschmidtke320]

@@Biglex524 hes still doing it for free, I guess. so kudos to him for trying at least

[@lucas7370]

this aged well, still the same issue

[@M.G.Simard]

5 years later still the same lmao classic divi Why isn't there a responsive toggle button for the section columns like everything else? Lol

[@lastarena]

You're a lifesaver, Josh! Looked everywhere for this and you're the only one who came through. Works like a charm! Thank you!

[@mojeff314]

Thank you. So simple. You mention in the video naming convention. One good practice to help with collisions is to prefix your personal classes with something like your company or personal name initials. So for instance, I prefix my class names with "ma".

[@KerrieRedgate]

Thank you!!! I appreciate your clarity, Josh. Also, that's a great tip about naming classes - I hadn't thought of the implications! 🙏

[@shaguncreations.]

Good, you’re a great teacher sir, explain clearly step by step.

[@kajetankrott5754]

Josh, what you do for this community is incredible!

[@Kcorey]

I watched a similar video. Your description is much clearer than other people's videos! Your video is included how to use the inspect-Tool, to rewrite and add to css that is very clear, and if you have other themes, you can easily add code by doing the same as in this video.

[@gillianhersh4272]

THANK YOU for this clear and concise explanation!

[@RuppJean]

Perfect solution. Perfectly explained. Thanks Josh.

[@wendymason3263]

Thank you so much Josh, just what I needed.

[@maurizioviera]

Thank you very much! This is exactly what I was looking for

[@aiRCoft]

This is working fine for me when viewed on a smartphone in portrait mode, however, in landscape mode, it displays only one column stacked, with the modules aligned to the left side of the page, (although they're all set to be center-aligned)... Do you know what might be causing this, and/or how to get rows to retain the same number of columns when in landscape as in portrait? Thanks!

[@RobinAWhite]

I'm having the same problem now, two years later. That, and it's keeping columns side-by-side on phones but not tablets for some reason.

[@TECStudy]

You saved me a lot of time ! Thank you.

Josh, can you please do a new divi 4.0 update to this video? Some things have changed with the transform option and I'd like to see a row w/3 columns example. Thank you!

[@brainynbrawny9562]

Great video as always, Josh. I'd like to see how to maintain columns on tablet and mobile when they are not all the same size. For instance, three columns where the center one is larger than the end two. This is what I'm currently searching for an answer to and have yet to find it.

[@alejandrosuarez2479]

Did you find an answer to this? I've tried display flex and display grid and none of them work for me

[@inzaneskins]

[@jssaylor]

Any tips for when you have a 1/3 - 2/3 row to keep them on the same row?

[@JoshHallco]

I've had a couple questions about that...I think I'll do a version 2.0 of this soon to cover that :)

[@the_rachamalla]

@@JoshHallco Have you done that, sir?

[@Rivasme]

great tutorial! I used it with a 5 row! Thanks!

[@adrianas.8256]

Finalmente questo che cercavo . Grazie

[@MB-sl8pw]

Didn't Elegant Themes sell Divi showing that you could do this in the designer ? Design for desktop change designer to tablet set text size, change designer to mobile change design and make design changes there ?

[@abigroman]

Needed to shrink 3 to 2 colums for tablet: flex-wrap:wrap;

[@cryo5234]

Outdated, the most simple way is to go on ADVANCED > MAIN ELEMENT > and write: display: flex;

[@JanineMKartist]

awesome! This helped. Is css easy to learn?

[@SonaalShandilya]

Still very useful. Thanks a ton. You're awesome!

Hello, thank you, great Video - I have a question. How to do the same with 4 columns where first is 50% of width and next are for example 13%?

[@dennizjansen]

Hi Josh, great video's on your chanel! Learned a lot of new things, and things I thought I did well you did even quicker and easier. One thing I'm still struggling with in regard to keeping columns though. If you have one row with 2 x 5 modules, in my case blurbs, when you use this method for 2 columns it divides the blurbs in 2x2x2x2x1x1 instead of the desired 2x2x2x2x2. I can't seem to figure this out.

[@blisscoachiingandwellness]

What version of Divi are you working in. I don't see the icons int he lower left hand corner that you are referencing.

[@MrBangization]

Hi Josh. Any reason why this doesn't seem to work on Safari?

[@samuri2011]

how do you make this work if you have a custom gutter and 100% full width collumns?? It didnt work on my screen and i think thats why

[@landisorso2856]

Thanks man! Worked like a charm!

[@lovedesignwork2394]

Didn't work for Divi 4, maybe is good to update this video to Divi 4 instead please...

[@thebibleproof]

Thank you Josh, maybe I missed it, but can you do a quick tutorial for using differently cropped image for the hero section on mobile?

[@tianapayne1924]

Will this still work if the code in inspect says .et_pb_row instead of column? Are rows and columns treated the same in divi or is "row" just the new word now for "column"? anyway - this code didn't seem to do anything.

[@peperodriguez3407]

Than you very much for the tutorial. God bless you, really

[@RahmatAli-zp9iy]

Thank you, but can I apply different order for other columns at the same time? Like I wanna have 4 columns in mobile version since they are just icons.

[@realalesuarez]

Does this work if the module is a blurb? I havent been able to make it work

[@ultramarinefilms8042]

no other option to reduce the column width in divi? like elementer we can reduce column width then the second column will automaticaly come to right

[@zoiphotographer]

what about if I want to force the view only on Tablet version but not on mobiles?

[@hellacat5610]

I want to find out the same!

[@zoiphotographer]

​@@hellacat5610 Here it is the correct code: /* force columns view only on TABLET devices */ @media only screen and ( min-width: 768px ) and ( max-width: 980px ) { .two-columns .et_pb_column { width: 50%!important; } .three-columns .et_pb_column { width: 33.33%!important; } .four-columns .et_pb_column { width: 25%!important; } }

[@shivamathiya8384]

Awesome that worked for me But i am still facing problems between 1000 px - 1980px widths those icons are buldging back to 200px size looking terrible please help.....

[@veyspixelboy]

it's really good thank you , but you have three pictures and I have four. I don't want the forth goes down and I just want to see the fourth when I scroll horizontally, if you understand what I mean, this is possible with divi?

[@JoshHallco]

Yep you can just tweak the percentage to 25% on mobile or you can create a class for 2 columns (50%), 3 columns (33%) 4 columns (25%) etc!

[@auwssessam6734]

Hello Thanks alot for your great help You're awesome Wondering how to use same method for the shop page please

Dear Josh, My translated website with Divi 4.0 have 2 Languages, my English language is LTR but my other languages is RTL. My problem is RTL MENU on mobile and tablet view. I don't know how can I have to menu with different directions ( LTR and RTL ) on mobile and tablet view. Could you please help me!

[@antlerup]

Super helpful, thank you!!

[@ewallet2u]

Now in the new version of divi, they already include the max and min width right?

[@JoshHallco]

Yeah there are settings for those now though I still find myself going this route as you have to manually set it the px with the Divi options. Either way is fine though.

[@nikthegreeky]

@@JoshHallco What about display: flex; ?

[@manolomaru]

Incredible bro! ✨🙋‍♂️👍

[@sergioadriandiaz7795]

thanks Josh

[@goshenweb]

Josh - the opposite is what I have found very problematic working with Divi builder. I had a row with three columns which I struggled to get to stack on tablet (iPad mini). Rather, the columns became extremely thin width and would not stack (it stacked as expected on smartphone).i had to manually style the columns to get it to eventually stack. Such a shame that Divi is so inconsistent with the way different elements work. Another such issue is with the Make columns same height which never seem to work.

[@JoshHallco]

mmm that's odd. Divi automatically stacks all modules and columns on mobile so you must've had some code, plugin or something conflicting with it. All pretty easily fixed and customized with a good understanding of CSS. Same with the vertical columns. I know that's a little tricky and maybe one day Divi will add it which would be nice. This is a good solution in the meantime: divi.space/css-course/how-to-set-equal-column-heights-using-flexbox/

[@capitanchorizzo]

That's a fabulous one, Josh, thank you! In my case though - 1 row with 6 items in 3 columns right on top of each other (2 x 3 items) the top 5 items behave nicely on mobile, but the last one does go down on a line of it's own. Is that something to do with this «last-child» thing? Would you know how to fix this? Thanks and keep it up!

[@JoshHallco]

Yeah it could be depending on the elements you're using this with. I'd be sure to clear cache and refresh browser to make sure all code is displaying correctly and if so, just play around with the percentage/padding and margins to help line up!

no changes at all whenever i write 33 % why ????

[@MichaelEugeneShaner]

Does/will this CSS work in any WordPress theme?

[@JoshHallco]

You could pull from this same method but the CSS selector will change depending on what theme you use.

[@castleacadia4095]

Hello Josh and everyone! I put this CSS into my website (only difference is that its for four columns) but no change is happening and I'm not sure why. Any suggestions?

[@JoshHallco]

9/10 you just need to make sure to clear your cache and do a hard refresh on your browser! Then it should show :)

Do you ever have the problem where what you’re seeing on your mobile view doesn’t match what actually shows up on your phone?

Yeah that does occasionally happen especially if you're looking through the Divi VB. I tend to use inspect element then look at an actual phone then adjust accordingly.

I was saving money to build it myself now have to pay someone to fix this or just go to wix or whatever and spend more money
