Is there any way to create a 1/4, 1/4, 1/4, 1/4 section, fill the first column with all the elements that I need, then duplicate that first column (containing the elements I added to it) over to the other 3 columns? Or is the only way to do that to copy each individual element 4 times per element?
Thanks

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in! Regretfully, duplicating the column isn’t a feature yet in Cornerstone. This might be a good addition to CS. Right now, you can only duplicate an element and drag this element, place it in the column of your choice.

We have added this suggestion to our feature list. This may be included in one of our future releases.

Thank you.

yes,
that would save a lot of time in the setup of masterpages!!!

Just hit the same roadblock. This is like working in Indesign…in 1996.

Hello There,

Thanks for updating this thread! In our latest version of Cornerstone (1.1.0), we introduced Skeleton mode. Skeleton Mode is an alternate editing interface that focuses on page architecture rather than the visual design. You can quickly rough out page layouts, then transition to the live preview to finish your design. It’s also a great tool for locating elements in more complicated layouts, providing a structural overview. If you’re more partial to a “backend” page building experience, you’ll feel right at home in Skeleton Mode as well. Please see our change log (https://theme.co/changelog/#cornerstone-1-1-0).

Anyway, when you are in Skeleton mode, you can easily duplicate section and rows. With columns, that would still be in development because at this moment on, it is impossible to duplicate a column if the other columns exists already. The correct term should be “copy and replace” column. This is already in development. Once our developers have this feature, it will be updated and rolled out in our future release updates.

Thank you for your understanding.

Works extremely well, good job with this Skeleton mode!
Just click on “duplicate” and bang, there’s your new section.

Thanks for letting us know that it has worked for you.
If you need anything else we can help you with, don’t hesitate to open another thread.

Has the ability to copy and replace columns been released yet?
I started with a three-column design, then added a fourth but cannot, for the life of me, copy any of the existing columns over into the fourth slot and when I copy each element individually I can’t get it to align with the first three properly.

Thanks.

Columns could not be duplicated. Please give us the URL of the page you’re setting up and a screenshot of the section and also access to your WordPress admin so we could see your setup.

Thanks.

Hey Christian,

I figured it out. I copied each individual element in the column. The reason it wasn’t aligning is because one had the padding measured in px while the other was measured in %. I fixed that and it’s working fine.

Thanks!

Glad to hear it.
