Frequently asked questions.
How does it work?
This plugin splices additional metaboxes into the editor output buffer, using stylesheets for new screen layouts.
What do the icons mean?
The light-grey area is the main text editor – this cannot be moved nor can panels be moved into it. The dark grey areas are drop targets that you can drop editor panels into.
Why are there large gaps in my editor display?
These are drop targets for the layout you have selected – drop an editor panel into them, or choose a different layout from the screen options menu.
The extra columns are not appearing, or the layout is not as the icon suggests?
Layouts will revert to two columns on narrower windows. For example: the “Main with three sidebars” layout needs a browser window at least 1422px wide to display all three sidebars. If your window is magnified it will need to be even wider.
The plugin is active but there are no screen layout options?
First make sure you are editing a post or page, then ensure your browser window is wide enough to show at least two columns, as wordpress automatically hides the screen layout options if the window is too narrow.
