How to Add Border Around Column in WordPress

Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to add a border around a column in WordPress. 

Step 1. Update your WordPress to version 6.0. This is required because the option to add borders around columns natively has been introduced in WordPress 6.0. 

This way, you won’t have to use any third-party block addon or write custom CSS. 

You can update your WordPress to the latest version by going to Dashboard > Updates. 

Step 2. Go to the post or page where you want to add a column with borders. 

Step 3. Click on the (+) icon and search for ‘Column’ block and add it to the editor.

Step 4. Once the block is added, you’ll have to choose how many columns you want in the block. Gutenberg automatically gives you some variations to choose from. Then, add some content to the columns. 

Step 5. Select the column and you’ll find the customization settings on the right sidebar. Here, you’ll find an option to add a border to your column. 

You can set the border width and pixels and also customize the border color. Moreover, you also have the option to add a border to just one side of the whole column. 

So, that’s how easy it is to add borders around columns in WordPress without writing a single line of CSS. 

Conclusion 

As evident from this tutorial, adding borders around a column is very simple and easy in Gutenberg. The editor gives you full control and various options to help you add beautiful borders around columns.
