Is there a way to restrict the masonry portfolio to only have three columns, like in your demo? (http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/port...

I am not using the portfolio page template, I am using a fullwidth page with the portfolio embedded through the visual editor. But the options only let me restrict it to 4 columns. I don't want to have to write a bunch of custom CSS to overwrite all of your extremely specific, important tag-laden CSS.

I'm not sure I understand. The masonry portfolio with the column restriction doesn't use cols-3, cols-4, span_3, or span_4, it uses elastic-portfolio-item. I changed 'cols-4' to 'cols-3' and 'span_4' to 'span_3' but there was no change in the portfolio. Anything else you can think of? Since you have this in your salient theme demo, can you check how that was set up? Thanks!

I'm also interested in this but having a hard time following the posted directions.

To the original poster - 

One way I figured out how to fix this is by editing .elastic-portfolio-item in the CSS.  Whether you are using the responsive or non-responsive design, there is a responsive.css and non-responsive.css file in the CSS folder.

From there there are a couple of instances of .elastic-portfolio-item in each CSS file being set to width: 24.98%; you can change this to 33.31%.

Attached is an example of me changing the width of .elastic-portfolio-item in the "boxed" look by adding a new declaration.  

How to have 2 columns on the Blog Masonry (instead of 3) please?
