Unable to place cards in sections dashboard

The dashboard below is of type “Sections”. I am unable to put ANYTHNG within the red circle. I can’t place a card there, or a section. I’ve tried drag & drop and pasting items, nothing will go there. What do I have to do in order to place a card in that red circle area?

-Thanks

Extend the section that contains the Sunrise Sunset card across two or more columns (click the three dots icon top right of the section, not the card the section). Put your new card beside the sunset card.

e.g. this is two sections that span the width of the page:

There are two cards in the first (top) section. The first card has also been set to span 3 columns.
There are 4 cards in the second (bottom) section.

I created a new sections view and increased the top section width from 2 to 4. Same exact problem. I have this gap in the middle I cannot place anything in the area circled in red.

Increase the section below it to span the 4 columns too. Just like the example I gave above.

I increased the width to 4 you can see it circled in red, but still unable to put any cards next to the Kleenex Pollen Radar.

Thanks again.

Move the Kleenex card to the lower section.

I did that and it was added to the lower section no problem. But when I try and paste the Kleenex card to the same row, you can see it overlaps the NWS Weather card. I have this section set to a width of 4 also.

Looks like it’s your 1st weather-card which messes up things for you ( beside you also use other cards of various width )
i.e is the 2 Gauge in one and same section ? (so you actually only have 3 Columns in first row)

PS: If you want to see what’s happening when creating/styling a Section-view , then start with giving each section a header-name, now you …and we can’t actually see what you are doing ( And we also don’t know the specs of your Monitors width )

Looks like that card has not been updated to work with sections. You have two options:

  1. use some other weather card. Or
  2. put the weather card in a grid card ( 1x1, square off). That will work with sections.

Also you don’t need to cut and paste. You can drag and drop.

Could be so,but more like the 1st wide weather-card or/and his viewport is to narrow to handle 4 sections, with the cards he is using(throwing 1 section below, hint no more to add there)
(that is if he also actually have both gauges in same section)
Best way to figure it out, as is now, is if @zBernie post the yaml, from raw-edit mode

Yeah you’re right, looks like a max of three columns on that monitor.

I’m using a 24" monitor. But I’m trying to create a dashboard for an 11" tablet. I tried deleting the weather card, and I can fit one more small card in the middle area as shown. But anything else is placed beneath the Kleenex card.

For the final time. Create two full width sections as per my example.

You only have one big section.

Are you only adjusting the Dashboard’s overall Max number of sections wide setting or each individual Dashboard section like Tom is referencing here :down_arrow:

or just here?

There is a Sections Dashboard, but you can add indiviual Sections within the dash and edit the number of columns in those sections.

I had two sections with widths of 4 but deleted it at some point. I just added back the second section.

No you didn’t, this is still one big section with two rows

Move the Kleenex Poolen card to here

and edit the number of columns in the area highlighted in green.

Let me download the 3rd party Kleenex
card and see if that is the source of your issue.

I think you mean like this:

Yes. Now drag ada drop the cards you want in the second row to that bottom section.

yes that is what I meant. The card or NWS Weather may have static positioning

Adding the second section did it! Thanks for your help with this.
