    I am trying to get 2 columns to display ( featured products ), It was working for a few days but now the products display one on top of another. The site is not live yet.

    Layout Settings is not the page to affect that.

    Configuration > Index Listing >
    New Products Columns per Row 3
    Featured Products Columns per Row 3
    Special Products Columns per Row 3

    will set the number of columns for these centerboxes.

    i set these all to "3" and still nothing.

    I've also noticed when I click on a product and I go to the product description, the whole layout of the page has changed. I've included images of my site. The first image shows the featured products stacked on top of each other instead of side by side. In the second image I have drawn in black rectangles to show where those particular elements used to be.

    You are working with the featured listing page, not the centerbox - we couldn't tell which you mean without a picture or detailed description.
    Configuration > Featured Listing will let you edit the layout of the elements there.

    The second image is the product listing page, which is not related to the featured listing page display.

    Default Re: cant get 2 columns to display

    These are the settings I have in my featured listing. Where do I make it a 2 column layout?
    Thanks for your help so far. :)

    Title Value Action
    Display Product Image 1102
    Display Product Quantity 1202
    Display Product Buy Now Button 1300
    Display Product Name 2101
    Display Product Model 2201
    Display Product Manufacturer Name 2302
    Display Product Price 2402
    Display Product Weight 2502
    Display Product Date Added 2601
    Display Product Description 150
    Display Product Display - Default Sort Order 1
    Default Featured Products Group ID 22
    Display Multiple Products Qty Box Status and Set Button Location 3

    These are the settings for the product listing. I cant see how to change the layout. I want the price to show up on the right of the _MED image and description just under that.

    Title Value Action
    Display Product Image 1
    Display Product Manufacturer Name 1
    Display Product Model 0
    Display Product Name 2
    Display Product Price/Add to Cart 3
    Display Product Quantity 0

    Prev/Next Split Page Navigation (1-top, 2-bottom, 3-both) 3
    Display Product Listing Default Sort Order
    Display Product Add to Cart Button (0=off; 1=on; 2=on with Qty Box per Product) 1
    Display Multiple Products Qty Box Status and Set Button Location 3
    Display Product Description 150
    Product Listing Ascending Sort Order +
    Product Listing Descending Sort Order -
    Include Product Listing Alpha Sorter Dropdown true
    Include Product Listing Sub Categories Image true
    Include Product Listing Top Categories Image true
    Show SubCategories on Main Page while navigating 1

    Thanks again for your help.

    The centerboxes display products in a grid (qty per row settable in admin). The listings display products one per row, though the elements in each product can be rearranged. There is a mod for the product listing (Column Layout Grid), but not for the other listing pages.
    You can make some listings match another by applying yellow1912's "Using one single listing template" mod - search the forum for it.
