I have been spending a lot of time developing my Magazine Basic theme so I guess I have magazines on the brain. While speaking with a colleague, I got the idea to create a plugin that would create columns in posts or pages, similar to a magazine article. Thus, Magazine Columns was created.
All you need to do is download the plugin and add the <!--column--> tag to your post or page with the column quicktag in the HTML editor or manually. You can create up to five columns.
Changelog
Version 1.0.3 (2009-04-01)- Fixed IE styles
- Removed extra line breaks
- Added start and stop columns tags
- Removed problamatic if statement
- Public Release
I like the plugin and like thousand others, was waiting for it, while using WP-Post Columns. Here are the current problems; maybe there is already a solution for them, please advise:
1. The plugin cuts any text before “Start columns” (like, an introduction) and after “stop columns” (like, footnotes).
2. It erases all formatting between “start” and “stop”, especially “carriage return”, i.e. new paragraphs, subtitles, etc.
Thx

I have used it. Its great wordpress the made life easy for webmaster and bloggers. Thanks
Great Plugin! Works great in WP 2.8.2. Thanks for the plugin!
No no no. wp 2.8.2 & 2.8.4 it’s not working.no matter what I do!
Okay, so I don’t know what these people are talking about, I’ve been using this for months, functionally, it’s great. But the CSS within the PHP is causing nasty validation issues, as no style tags should be within the body… I asked months ago, and you never responded :/ I even tried moving the CSS to my stylesheet but it did nothing. Any suggestions? I HATE invalid code :/
Hello,
I am trying to use this plugin.
However, it doesn’t let me do anything before or after the colums,
it hides all my photos and all subsiquent text after the first close columns tag…..
would really like to know how to get around this.
OH PLEASE help me!
I am working on a newer version that should hopefully correct all your problems. Look for it shortly.
Not compatible with WP Table Reloaded…
[table id=1 /] [table id=2 /]
[table id=3 ] [table id=4 /]
[table id=5 /] [table id=6 /]
[table id=7 /] [table id=8 /]
another great little plugin, I’ve been looking for this for a long time, I’ll try this one on my site. Seems to look well in the demo. thank you!
Hi,
the plugin doesn’t workwith wordpress 2.8.6 , will be there an update?
This plugin’s buttons (on the html mode) do not work if using the “qTranslate” plugin.
niehter it works even if adding the column tags manually.
I however disabled all other plugins and only using the magazine-columns still can not make it work…..
any guide on how to add this properly… I am using the latest version of WP by now (December 10th 2009).
also any way we could make this to work with qtranslate?
cheers
I am really desperate to get this to work – actually I tried that other, similar one too, neither did. What I want to know is, can it being wrapped in “ tags disable it somehow? I have TinyMCE set to do that, but frankly, if that’s the case then TinyMCE is definitely the lesser of two evils. I’d hate to have to give up on organizing some of my lists into columns to keep TinyMCE.
I have the latest version, as I searched for and loaded it today. Here’s the page I’m trying to do, the columns code is still there.

Thanks.
Er…being wrapped in p tags, for preserving code. Or if there is some other way that plug in pack could do it. Most likely one I’ve got. But like I said, disabling it is more trouble than it’s worth – I’d rather go without columns.
Hi there — is there any chance you’ll have a working version for 2.9.1?
I have tried this over and over again and can not separate into columns.
Can you please send me an example of where to place code. There are three choices, start, stop and column. It would help if I new exactly what I should be using to get this to work.
Each time I do it the words are right next to each other instead of headers for creating columns.
Thanks in advance.
No me funciona en wp 2.8.5
To get this to work on Pages as well as Posts, it seems a simple matter of changing the code:
if(stristr($content, '<!--column-->') && is_single()) {to
if(stristr($content, '<!--column-->') && (is_single() || is_page())) {Is that right?
I haven’t had a chance to test your code but that should work. I am currently updating the plugin and trying to add a few more options. A pages options sounds like a good addition.
love this plug in…I will be donating soon!!
Hi,
I think this is a great plugin, but I’m having one problem — even when I use the stop tag at the end of the last column, it’s putting part of my footer (Sociable and Related Posts) in a third column. Please see http://www.thomasriggs.net/blog/index.php/2010/03/french-pop-song-of-the-week-mon-amie-la-rose. I assume something needs to be removed or changed in the code, but I’m hesitant to even try to do that myself.
Thanks!
Hi,
I know this site is over a year old, but is there any chance of an update for this plugin?
Same problem as Eike here, it’s a delight of plugin, but when activated, my Lightbox stops working (Lightbox 2 plugin by Rupert Morris to be exact).
Is there any fix for this? Thanks
How can i get…
