How to Add Columns in Wordpress

Use this interactive demo to learn how to create multi-column layouts in the WordPress block editor.

Quick summary

Adding columns in WordPress is done through the Gutenberg block editor by inserting a Columns block and selecting a layout. Once added, each column accepts any block type — text, images, or media — and can be styled and resized directly in the editor.


Steps

  1. Go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Posts or Pages.
  2. Click on the post or page where you want to add columns, or create a new one.
  3. Click the + button (Add Block) in the block editor.
  4. Search for Columns and select the Columns block from the available options.
  5. Select the column layout that best suits your needs.
  6. Click on each column to add blocks like text, images, or other content blocks.
  7. Use the block editor's tools to style, format, and adjust the width of the columns as needed.
  8. Once satisfied with the layout, click Save to save your changes.

📌 Why this matters

The WordPress Columns block lets site owners create structured, multi-column page layouts without writing any code, making it one of the most-used features in the Gutenberg block editor. Using columns improves content readability, supports side-by-side comparisons, and gives pages a professional, magazine-style appearance. For anyone building landing pages, service pages, or editorial content in WordPress, mastering the Columns block is essential for producing visually engaging, well-organized layouts that perform well in search and convert visitors.
