The Text Editor widget now lets you divide text and content into multiple columns, enabling visually structured layouts within a single widget.


✅ Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Insert a Text Editor Widget onto your page.

  2. Enter your content, which can include paragraphs, lists, or images.

  3. Select the number of columns you want (two or more) in the “Columns” field.

  4. Adjust the column gap using a slider to control spacing between columns.

This produces a neat, multi-column layout without the need for additional sections or custom code.


🎯 Why Use It

  • Improves readability and structure, especially for long-form content.

  • Elevates visual design, mimicking layout styles found in magazines or newsletters.

  • Streamlined workflow, allowing complex layouts inside one widget.


⚠️ Tips & Best Practices

  • Don’t overcrowd: Keep sentences concise in each column to maintain readability.

  • Balance spacing: Adjust the gap to prevent text from appearing cramped.

  • Test across devices: Multi-column formatting may shift to single-column on smaller screens—preview across breakpoints.


🧠 Final Takeaway

Elementor’s multi-column text feature empowers you to better structure and present content directly within the Text Editor widget, achieving visually engaging layouts without extra containers or code.
