Hi

I am using the columns extension for my front end forms and when a form is wide the columns have large gaps, i understand you are using Flexbox (CSS Flex) to do this but its difficult to reduce the columns due to the way it has been developed. I dont want to be overriding loads of CSS to keep track of it when updates occur.

Is there a way to use CSS Grid or is there an issue with the Columns extension?

e.g. 2 columns

thanks

Nick

Hello Nick,

There isn't an issue with the MB Columns extension. It is how it is displayed. There is a margin right 5% and the width of column-6 is 47.5%.
If you want to override the Meta Box CSS, please follow the documentation below to enqueue your CSS file

Hi, yes is huge when the form width is wide. So was wondering if this was intentional or not as i thought even padding widths for responsive design would be a good standard thats all.

If I add my own CSS I have to override alot of the CSS added by metabox just to set the correct the spacing between form fields

For anyone who is interested this is the CSS i used to get even spacing to the fields e.g. gap: 10px;
```
.rwmb-form .rwmb-meta-box {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  gap: 10px;
}
.rwmb-form .rwmb-row {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  gap: 10px;
}
.rwmb-form .rwmb-column {
  margin-right: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  min-width: 300px;
  flex: 1;
}
.rwmb-form .rwmb-column-1 {
  width: 8.33%;
}
.rwmb-form .rwmb-column-2 {
  width: 16.66%;
}
.rwmb-form .rwmb-column-3 {
  width: 25%;
}
.rwmb-form .rwmb-column-4 {
  width: 33%;
}
.rwmb-form .rwmb-column-5 {
  width: 41.66%;
}
.rwmb-form .rwmb-column-6 {
  width: 50%;
}
.rwmb-form .rwmb-column-7 {
  width: 58.33%;
}
.rwmb-form .rwmb-column-8 {
  width: 66.66%;
}
.rwmb-form .rwmb-column-9 {
  width: 75%;
}
.rwmb-form .rwmb-column-10 {
  width: 83.33%;
}
.rwmb-form .rwmb-column-11 {
  width: 91.66%;
}
.rwmb-form .rwmb-column-12 {
  width: 100%;
}
```
