[Resolved] Using Toolset blocks to build a view; 3-column grid showing as 1-column

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

Problem:

I select three columns for the views, but it shows only 1 in the front end.

Solution:

It is a conflict with Flying Press optimization plugin.

- IMPORTANT STEP! Create a backup of your website.
- Go to "WordPress Dashboard > Plugins" and deactivate all plugins except Toolset and its add-ons.
- Check if you can still recreate the issue.
- If not, re-activate your plugins one by one and check the issue each time to find out the plugin that causes the problem.

I have created a new post type, custom fields and taxonomies as I always have with Toolset Types. I'm trying to now create my View using Toolset Blocks on a page with the Gutenberg editor (I always previously used Toolset Views plugin but am attempting to use the Gutenberg blocks directly on the page as I know Views is legacy.)

I added a View, have the View Output with the View Loop and added blocks to the view loop (heading, single field, image, button all using dynamic data). I set the View Loop to 3 columns but it keeps displaying as 1 column. I've attached a screenshot.

I tried changing the Bootstrap settings in the Toolset settings but it doesn't appear to have an affect.

What is the link to your site?

Hi there,

You need to force the View itself to show in 3 column grid view.

To do that please follow the steps below:

Click to select your View in the editor and then click the Block Navigation button. You will see a tree list of your View and the blocks it contains. Click the View Loop to select it.

Also the course below can be a good starting point to get the hang of the details:

Thank you.

In the screenshot I supplied in my first post, you can see i had selected the View Loop from the tree list and had set it to 3 columns. But id doesn't ...i just shows as one column as seen on hidden link
I've uploaded another screenshot pointing out the settings.

Hi there,

Thank you very much, I see that the settings are correct.

Would you please kindly create a test page and add a sample view there and add a dynamic title with 3 columns for a post or any custom post and see if the same thing happens there?

If not, I'd appreciate it if you create a new view and delete the previous one.

But if the issue happens on the test page too, I'd appreciate it if you could give me the URL/User/Pass of your WordPress dashboard after you make sure that you have a backup of your website.
It is absolutely important that you give us a guarantee that you have a backup so if something happens you will have a point of restore.

Make sure you set the next reply as private.

Thanks.

Hi there,

Thank you for the information.

I logged in and deactivated all plugins except Toolset ones and the issue is fixed:

It seems that there is a plugin on your website that causes the issue.

Kindly activate the plugins one by one to see which plugin is causing the conflict.

Thank you.

Thank you. It appears to be a compatibility issue with Flying Press, our optimization plugin.
