How do I set the number of columns my products display in on my website?

Once you have logged into the system as an Administrator (your login link should look like ' yourwebsitename.rainadmin.com/admin';), on the far right side of the blue Admin Toolbar, click the Admin button with your username. In the drop-list, click on Settings > Website Settings > Products, you will see a setting for the number of Category columns.

This feature is actually for the older version of our website system, so if you have a Responsive website (mobile-friendly), this option will not work for you. Instead, if you scroll further down the list, you'll see an option for Enhanced Category Page, not far from the bottom of the list. Turning that On will give you dynamically generated columns for your products within each of your categories where they display on your website. What that means is, based on the size of the display a visitor is using, it will dynamically display from 1 to 4 columns of products, and will use what page width it has as efficiently as possible.

If you have the Enhanced Category Page set to Off, it will display only a single column of products along with images, Price and Sale Price (if present), and Short Description. If you make a change in the settings, be sure to remember to scroll to the bottom of the screen and click Save, or your changes will not display.
