Adding columns to your custom post type
By default, columns only apply to the post post type. However, you can add columns to your custom post type using the filter:
add_filter( 'generate_blog_columns','tu_portfolio_columns' );
function tu_portfolio_columns( $columns ) {
if ( is_post_type_archive( 'portfolio' ) ) {
return true;
}
return $columns;
}
You can use this filter to enable or disable columns under any conditions you need by using the WordPress conditional tags.

Changing the number of columns
In some cases, you might want a different number of columns on certain custom post types, categories etc.. We can use a filter for this as well.
For example, if we want to change our column count on the search page:
add_filter( 'generate_blog_get_column_count','tu_search_column_count' );
function tu_search_column_count( $count ) {
if ( is_search() ) {
return 33;
}
return $count;
}
33 means 33%, which is 3 columns.
50 would be 50%, 2 columns.
20 would be 20%, 5 columns.
And so on..
You can use this filter under any conditions you need by using the WordPress conditional tags.
Adding masonry to your custom post type
By default, masonry only applies to the post post type. However, you can add masonry to your custom post type using the filter:
add_filter( 'generate_blog_masonry','tu_portfolio_masonry' );
function tu_portfolio_masonry( $masonry ) {
if ( is_post_type_archive( 'portfolio' ) ) {
return 'true';
}
return $masonry;
}
You can use this filter to enable or disable masonry under any conditions you need by using the WordPress conditional tags.
