Yes, it is possible to fix the issue with CMS cards being distributed over multiple columns when a checkbox is clicked on a Webflow site. You can achieve this by utilizing Webflow's built-in interactions and conditional visibility settings. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

  1. Select the checkbox element that triggers the card distribution. Make sure it is within the same parent container as the CMS cards.

  2. Go to the "Interactions" panel and create a new interaction. Choose the appropriate trigger for the interaction, such as "Click" or "Checkbox Change."

  3. In the interaction settings, choose the option to affect "Elements" and select the parent container that contains the CMS cards.

  4. Set the initial appearance of the CMS cards in the "Initial Appearance" section. Choose the desired number of columns for the cards when the page loads.

  5. Create a new step in the interaction to adjust the appearance of the CMS cards when the checkbox is clicked. Set the appearance to the desired number of columns for the cards when the checkbox is checked.

  6. Save the interaction and preview your site to see the changes.

This approach allows you to dynamically adjust the number of columns for the CMS cards based on whether the checkbox is checked or not. It provides a seamless way to control the card distribution and maintain a consistent layout.

It's important to note that this solution assumes you have a basic understanding of Webflow's interactions and CMS capabilities. If you're new to Webflow, it may be helpful to review the Webflow University tutorials on interactions and CMS to familiarize yourself further with these features.

Here's an example of how you might structure the CSS classes and interactions:

<div class="card-container">  <div class="card">Card 1</div>  <div class="card">Card 2</div>  <div class="card">Card 3</div></div><input type="checkbox" id="checkbox"><style>.card-container {  display: flex;  flex-wrap: wrap;}.card {  width: 33.33%;  /* Adjust the width based on the desired number of columns */}.card.hidden {  display: none;}</style><script>document.getElementById('checkbox').addEventListener('change', function() {  var cards = document.querySelectorAll('.card');    for (var i = 0; i < cards.length; i++) {    if (this.checked) {      cards[i].classList.add('hidden');    } else {      cards[i].classList.remove('hidden');    }  }});</script>

By adding the .hidden class to the cards when the checkbox is checked, you can control their visibility and adjust the number of columns accordingly.
