Then go to the Columns Manager tab, and from the Metro Column dropdown, select your desired column number.
After that, select Custom from the Select Style section, then you’ll see a Custom Layout field where you have to add the layout structure value.
You have to enter the value in a Width:Height ratio to set the width and height of an item then you can use separator (|) to target multiple items. It will automatically create a loop based on your entered value.
For example, if you enter a value like this 1:2 | 2:1 | 2:2, here it specifies the width and height of three items separately, then the value will automatically loop (3 items each) for the remaining items.
Note: You have to do some trial and error to get your desired layout.
