"ImageMagick" is necessary to operate this plug-in. ImageMagick is unreliable and has been banned on many servers in my country.

Add the ability to add classes to Column shortcode

By WCat on April 7, 2017

This plugin is great for creating columns in content areas. That being said it desperately needs a way to target individual columns with css. something like


[one_half class="my-class"]
Content goes here
[/one_half]

[one_half_last class="my-other-class"]
Content goes here
[/one_half_last]

Great plugin use it on every site, would like to see it actively developed further. Check out their other plugin wp-tabs-widget. Another great plugin that should be developed further.
