Some shoppers prefer a dense grid to scan more products at once; others prefer larger images with fewer per row – letting them choose beats picking one column count for everyone.
The WP Filters widget’s Filter Meta type includes a Filter Column item that adds a column-count switcher above the connected product grid.
