[Resolved] Multiple colums in form

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to have their Forms in multiple columns, however they are using the Divi theme.

Solution:

The main issue here is that Divi is not compatible with Bootstrap so you will need manually build the columns using the expert mode of the Form.

I am trying to: make a form with multiple columns in the expert mode. This has been a drag and drop thing, but now it refuses to split into multiple columns.

I am using Divi, and have followed the instructions "Disable Bootstrap
First, you should disable Bootstrap on sites that use Divi and Toolset. Go to the Toolset -> Settings page and select the This site is not using Bootstrap CSS option."

Hi Samuel,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

The main issue here is that you are using DIVI, which conflicts with bootstrap CSS. Even if we tell in our settings that "Theme is already loading bootstrap" and then create the columns, it will still display as single columns since our plugin generates the bootstrap html classes.

Thanks,
Shane

Is there any workaround?

Hi Samuel,

The only workaround is to build the columns yourself using your theme's css and our forms expert mode.

What I would do is to contact the divi theme and ask them if there is a way to build the columns manually without using the divi builder.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi again,
One last question - I have been using Themify Ultra for a long time, and that would be my prefered builder. As far as I am concerned the Themify builder is not integrated with toolset, but may I use Themify instead?

Is there any known problems using toolset and themify / ultra?

Hi Samuel,

I'm not sure how this builder works.

However you should be able to build your page templates with themify builder and then add the toolset elements to it with shortcodes.

If you are referring to using the builder to create templates for views then no I dont see this as possible.

Thanks,
Shane
