Here’s a blank page I created with Beaver Builder, expecting the Posts Module’s grid setting to give me the option to create side-by-side entries in columns:

As you can see, the result merely stacks posts (and spaces them oddly, at that).
Any ideas as to what’s gone wrong? I can’t even seem to find a setting in Beaver Builder to control how many columns the posts grid should have.
Thanks!
Incidentally, this page looks much better (though still with all posts in one column) in the Beaver Builder preview (before clicking DONE and Publish) than it does when viewed in the browser.
Hey Mark,
Welcome to the BB forums! 
You can’t set how many columns each row the grid will have, but you can control the width and spacing for each item. Try reducing both the Post width and spacing and if there is an ample amount of space, the next item will sit right next to the first one, like what you see on our demo below.

Hmmm. I deleted the Posts module, and added the template you mentioned, with a post width of 400 and a spacing of 25. Should it look like this?
Hey Mark,
Try reducing the width a bit, so 2 or more posts can stay in a single row.
Ben
This is with column widths set to 250.
I’m seeing this:

Hey Mark,
Do you mind sharing temp admin access to the site so I can take a look? You can just post the details here using the private reply option below.

Hey Mark,
I can see you have a caching plugin activated. We don’t really recommend turning it on while actively working on the site. Also, you’ve Varnish cache on your server as well. I’m not really sure if there is a way to turn it off, but if there isn’t, you’ll need to clear its cache every now and then. Clear it when you think the changes you’ve made didn’t go through.
Ben
I’ve purged Varnish about a dozen times today. I turned off W3 cache and Varnish both, and then went back to create a new page just dragging in and dropping the Advanced Posts module. This is what I get, regardless of what widths are set at. (Currently, they’re set to 100!)

Hey Mark,
That’s really weird. Do you think you could try a different theme and see if you get the same problem? Try on one of those free TwentyX themes.
Ben
I agree it’s pretty weird. Here’s how the page looks using the Bucket theme I once deployed on the site. It looked about the same when I applied the Twenty-Fifteen theme:

Any ideas? I’m at a complete loss. For what it’s worth, your templates that create columns (like, columns of icons with paragraphs attached, like you’d use with a features list) work fine. It’s the blog-related stuff that just won’t render correctly.
Hey Mark,
Can I change the theme and play around with it? I noticed the theme you’re using has minification so that may be what’s causing it.
Ben
Ben Carlo, in addition to being welcome to changing themes and playing around with the site, if doing so leads to an answer, I’ll buy you a beer.

Hey Mark,
Actually, simply disabling the Varnish HTTP Purge plugin does not disable the Varnish Cache at all. In fact, disabling the plugin won’t let you Purge the Varnish cache anymore. I created a test page titled BB Test Page and if you check it out, it’s working fine there. If you were to make some changes, be sure to hit the Purge Varnish button at the admin bar. If you want to disable the Varnish cache, you can get in touch with your hosting provider.
Ben
Hmmmm. I’ve been hammering away at the Purge Varnish button all morning, with no benefits. I’m glad it worked for you!
I’m now able to create a page that performs as expected with the blog module, too – so whatever you did seems to have worked some magic for me. Thank you.
Where do I send the beer?
Hey Mark,
No worries! Purging the Varnish cache wasn’t probably working earlier as you had another caching plugin active. Anyway, glad everything’s working now! Enjoy!
Ben
