Grid Loop – Different number of columns

[dire]

I'm using the Genesis Grid plugin. I need to display a different number of columns if the page is not the blog/home page (i.e., a certain category archive page).

Right now I've got 3 columns on the blog page, but I need 4 on another page. Can I do this with a function/hook? I'm thinking I would need to change the $columns number, as seen here: https://gist.github.com/billerickson/1552401/f66f2f84337bf124a749654f39a722873f51ded3 but I'm not sure how. Would I have to remove the loop and create a different one? Is it possible to change just the number of columns?

Thank you.

In Bill's code, he's changing the number of columns based on the paging. You would need to test for the actual pageid. Wrap your code in an if statement where is_page( '1' ) is the page number of the one you want 4 columns. Modifying Bill's code, it would look like this:

function child_modify_query( $query ) {
	// Only apply to the main query
	if( $query->is_main_query() ) {
		// Use the same conditional you used in child_maybe_grid_loop()
		if( is_page( '1' ) ) {
			// Number of posts to show on subsequent pages (just grid)
			$query->set( 'posts_per_page', '4' );		
		else
			// Number of posts to show on first page (grid + features)
			$query->set( 'posts_per_page', '3' );
		}
	}
}
