## Description

As easy as it gets. Add column classes to widgets with a select box, check whether
the widget is the first, and save!

I’ve built this plugin for the Genesis Framework, though it will work with any theme
that uses the (old) Bootstrap column classes.

You can also add your own classes through various filters to use this plugin with
your theme’s grid framework.

#### Compatibility (IMPORTANT!)

This plugin does **NOT** add CSS for these columns. It **ONLY** adds the column 
classes to your widgets. The actual CSS should be added in your theme.

#### Filter: `genesis_widget_column_classes`

Allows you to change the available column classes

**Parameters:** `array` Default column classes.
 **Return:** `array` Array of column
classes.

#### Filter: `genesis_widget_column_classes_capability`

Change the capability required to modify column classes.
 Since 1.2.2

**Default:** `edit_theme_options`
 **Parameters:** `string` The default capability.**
Return:** `string` The new capability.

#### Filter `genesis_widget_column_classes_select_multiple`

Allow multiple classes to be selected.
 Since 1.3 **Return:** boolean.

You can use these filters inside your theme functions.php file or in a plugin.

Tried using thirds will not work on my theme the %’s are all wrong, pointless margin
left makes the grid look out of place. Easier to write your own CSS.

Such a simple thing to add column classes to widget, but it makes working with genesis
themes so much easier. Haven’t come across any bugs either, it just work. Thanks
