Elements in column displaying in a row / template problem

[clemc51]

Hi everyone,

I am a complete newbie. I recently started a first try with Joomla 2.5, using a free template (a little bit kinkly 2) found on internet.
Since I lost almost everything due to an manipulating error, I decided to restart with joomla 3.
using the same template, now elements of a group display in rows, although I set the right number of columns in options.

I searched on the web and read something about Responsive template, about Bootstrap... but I have no idea what it is.

I also tried to dowlnoad another template, made for joomla 3, but the result is the same.

Could someone help me / explain me what it is about?
Is there a possibility I modify the template so that it works as it did with joomla 2.5 ?

Thanks in advance !

Fabrik3.1 needs a Joomla Bootstrap template (BS2) like protostar coming with Joomla (or isis in the backend).

Thank you Troester,
even if I put protostar as the default template, the result is the same...
is there any other option to switch on to enable bootstrap?
