Personally, I usually try to work with the default and extended presets only, and make sure that most (if not all) of the columns in my entire layout have these presets applied. In the screenshots below, the columns and elements have borders, to showcase the padding of the column and the element boundaries.
#Elementor responsive columns manual
Manual styles always override the column gap preset, so make sure your columns are free of hard-styles. ⚠️ For the column gap presets to work, you must not have any manually-added padding to your columns. If you have created a simple structure in your editor, you should be able to see the column spacing adapt to your values. You now have a way to control the Column gap in px, em or % values, for every viewport breakpoint. In the Style Kits panel you will find a set of padding controls that correspond to the Column Gap presets. ⚡️ Customize the Elementor Column Gap values Simply trigger the right-click menu and you will find a Style Kits link that will teleport you to the Style Kits panels. There is an easier way to access the Style Kits panel, from anywhere in the page, without the need to navigate to the cog icon. This is where you will find the Style Kit panels.
You can do it by clicking the cog at the bottom left of your editor and then navigate to the Style tab. Here is how you can access it: ⚙️ Cog icon When you are ready to go, you can start customising the Elementor column gaps presets in the Style Kits panel. See below screenshots of a simple column structure with icon boxes. This way, you will have a basic layout to see how it gets affected by the new values. Simply add a section with any number of column, and populate these columns with a few elements. Workflow ⚡️ Create a new page and add some sections to create a basic layoutĪfter installing and activating Style Kits, create a new page and Edit with Elementor. Editing the Elementor Column Gaps with Style Kits Let’s see how we can edit and manage the values for the default Column Gap presets without getting our hands dirty with CSS. This way, you would simply assign one of the available Column Gap presets (default, narrow, extended etc) to the section’s columns, and stop micro-managing the columns individually.
Instead of adding manual padding values to your columns, how about you make use of the Column Gap presets and control the column spacing from a single source of control for our entire site? Maintaining control over the Elementor column gap presets is essential for consistent and hassle-free spacing across your layouts. Let alone how much un-scalable your project really is, now that you probably rely on copying / pasting column styles between your layouts. Because as your project scales, you end up with an un-flexible design that cannot adapt to changes.Īlso, take a deep breath and really think about the excessive amount of CSS that manually-added values lead to. In the worst case, your layout follows a random spacing logic with inconsistent values, which, in the long-term will hit you back.
In the best case, you might follow a consistent spacing scale, with common padding values throughout your entire layout. If you are one of the users who do not use CSS to manipulate the column spacing, it should be a common practice for you to add padding manually, on every column, in order to give your content the appropriate spacing. And that’s because the only way to edit these default values is via CSS.įor this reason, it is not uncommon among users to end up manually adding padding to their columns, which is definitely not the best practice. This makes Column Gap controls a tool with only limited usability. On top of that, there is no way to have control over the responsive behavior for these column gaps presets. So, by default, every column that exists in your template has 10px padding. And that’s because they are hard-coded into Elementor, with the following properties: As per current Elementor version (2.6.8) there is no way to customize these default elementor gap values.
