I’ve been playing with moving from your Mantra Theme over to Nirvana. I’ve got the presentation page working and I’ve got some other minor adjustments to do, but I noticed that I’m having a problem with doing multi columns on a page. With Mantra, I could do this:

[mantra-multi][mantra-column width="1/3"] {image goes here} [/mantra-column]…. [/mantra-multi]

I was hoping that I could just change the tag from mantra to nirvana, but that didn’t work. Do I have the wrong tag or is this something that Nirvana can’t do yet?

I’m currently running version 0.9.2
Thanks!
Bob

Hi Bob,

Mantra is our only theme that sill has shortcodes enabled. After that, regulations at WordPress.org made shortcodes plugin territory only.

Anyway, there are quite a few plugins out there for that https://wordpress.org/plugins/column-shortcodes/ Of course you’d have to remove/edit the mantra shortcodes.

Good luck!

Thanks Kay! I did end up using a short code column plug in and after a little work it’s working just like the mantra columns.

I made the full on switch to the Nirvana theme and am very happy with it… I just need to start use more of the features!
