My columns in Mantra don’t work correctly. If you make 2 columns at ‘1/2’, or 1 at ‘1/2’ with 2 at ‘1/4’ the last column is simply stacked under to the left. I believe this may be caused by padding on the page which doesn’t allow the full 100% to be taken by columns but I don’t know how to fix it. I know they should all add up to 1 or less, but they don’t all fit unless you use something like ‘1/2’ + ‘1/3’ or something like that.

I just noticed it works fine on pages with no sidebar. For some reason it’s just those pages with a sidebar that are giving me trouble.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. It’s fixed in the upcoming version 2.0 of the theme.

I am also working with the column shortcodes, and have a similar layout issue. This is latest version of Mantra – just downloaded a few days ago. (BTW, Great theme.)

I coded the following:
[mantra-multi][mantra-column width='1/3' class='col-color']some links in this column[/mantra-column][mantra-column width='2/3']some text explaining the links in this column[/mantra-column][/mantra-multi]

my custom css is:
/* css for yellow background colour with grooved outline*/
.col-color {background-color:#f2f2b5;outline-style:groove;}

The issue is that there is absolutely NO space between the columns, so they look very squashed together. I think the grooved outline took up the space between the columns. How do I add in padding (not much 5px) between the columns without pushing the second column beneath the first column.
Look at this page for an illustration of what I mean.
