Force and overwrite the current number of [gallery] columns without altering or tampering its original options.
As of April 2026, Gallery Columns is a WordPress post plugin with 30 active installations and a 5/5 rating from 1 reviews. It has been downloaded 5.4K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 3.1+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2010. Last updated 14 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Top alternative: Post Type Switcher.
If you use [gallery] shortcode without setting the columns value, the default is set to 3. Some WordPress theme can either fit 3 or more column per row or less.
Imagine if you use [gallery] shortcode with default options regularly within your posts, you switch to a new theme and the theme could only fit gallery with 2 columns per row.
To overcome this issue, the plugin will force and overwrite the current number of gallery columns within any post that uses [gallery] shortcode with a new number of columns of your choice without altering or tampering its original options. It also includes feature to exclude post from being overwritten by this plugin and removing the default inline styles printed when the [gallery] shortcode is used.
