Columns in Columns can act like Rows in Rows

Parent Column 1

I am  the first of a regular 2 column row. The second column 2 in grey. It has no modules of its own, but it's 2 child columns do.  We are equal heights.

I am the first child column of 2. I have all this space because child column 2 was dragged below me.

Bonus tip for the Pros

We can reduce the complexity for others (perhaps client) by layout disabling the ability to create new child columns.

We just add this line to our wp-config.php file:

define( 'FL_BUILDER_NESTED_COLUMNS', false );
