I know in this format it works: add_action(‘manage_stores_posts_custom_column’, ‘sc_stores_manage_columns’, 10, 2); function sc_stores_manage_columns($column_name, $id) { $custom = … Read more

Turns out there are specific CSS properties for columns: Here’s what worked for my case: .featured { -moz-column-count: 3; -moz-column-width:245px; -moz-column-gap: 40px; -webkit-column-count: 3; -webkit-column-gap : 40px; -webkit-column-width:245px; -moz-column-rule-color: #ccc; -moz-column-rule-style: solid; -moz-column-rule-width: 1px; -webkit-column-rule-color: #ccc; -webkit-column-rule-style: solid ; -webkit-column-rule-width: 1px; } And two refs for several other ways to go about it.
