// To use this snippet, download this file into your plugins directory and activate it, or copy the code under this line into the functions.php file of your (child) theme.
 
add_filter( 'woocommerce_composite_component_loop_columns', 'wc_cp_component_loop_columns', 10, 3 );

function wc_cp_component_loop_columns( $cols, $component_id, $composite ) {
	return 2;
}

I have used this to add 5 columns to the composite products plugin. If I put 6 or more columns it fails to work. Any reason why this might happen?

I have used this to add 4 columns to the composite products plugin. When I'm wathcing the result I have always only 1 column !!!
I put the snippet code in the function.php file of my wordpress child theme !

I have same @marclagacilly 's problem.
Every columns number I set I have always only 1 column.

Got the same problem as @marclagacilly and @emanueless
I've solved installing WooCommerce Stacked Product Layout plug-in, as suggested in Component Settings page
Then I've added snippet code into child theme’s funtctions.php file.
Hope this can help :)

I have the same problem it is not working. Tried plugin method and child theme methods but still no dice. Just displays one column. http://brucemoore.georgeyoung.pro/kiosk1/shop/all-necklaces/
