I need some help setting bootstrap 2.0.4 to be 16 or 24 column instead of the default 12 columns i can't understand what am i doing wrong i tried the customize option on the bootstrap site and i tried changing the grid variables in the variables.less file and recompile bootstrap.less using Crunch but for both trials i still have the same result .it is still 12 columns !!! when i try to set a div to be span12 it still takes the whole screen ?
Can anyone guide me to what's wrong i am doing or if someone can generate a 16 and 24 columns versions and send them to me that would be perfect
This method is for an older version of Bootstrap - Version 2.3.1

For 24 colums you can split main div
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="col-md-1">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1">nothing</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">12 here</div>
</div>
Simple enough to alter in less - http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/scaffolding.html#gridCustomization
You'll want to change the variables there to what you want -
e.g.
@gridColumns: 24
@gridColumnWidth: 30px
@gridGutterWidth: 10px
If using a fluid-grid, you'll want to change these variables proportionally too, otherwise span12 will still take up 100% of the width and span24 will take up 200%
@fluidGridColumnWidth
@fluidGridGutterWidth
As stated:
How to customize
Modifying the grid means changing the three @grid* variables and recompiling Bootstrap. Change the grid variables in variables.less and use one of the four ways documented to recompile. If you're adding more columns, be sure to add the CSS for those in grid.less.
You can change the variables and download the new css right here: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/download.html#variables
Here's a compiled example that should work for 16 columns (haven't tested, let me know how it works): https://s3.amazonaws.com/intenex/bootstrap16columns.zip
Edit: Creating grids with custom number of columns has been restored, and can be done on Bootstrap's customization page.
For reasons unknown to me, the latest version of Bootstrap (3.0.0/1) doesn't allow you to create grid different than 12 columns, which is a big shame.
What we can do currently, and which will in turn allow for creating more customized bootstrap packages, is to set up your own Bootstrap customizer.
Edit: I just tried it. Installing all the dependencies went quite smooth while sticking to guidelines on their Docs GitHub page.
Sample generated 24 column grid
Editor required inserting some code along with jsfiddle link. There's no point in pasting anything though.

45px *16 =720 Column
15px *16 =240 Gutter
1200px
53px *16 =848 Column
22px *16 =352 Gutter
768px
33px *16 =528 Column

Updated 2018
Revisiting this question for the latest Bootstrap 4. Now that Bootstrap 4 is flexbox, and includes auto-layout columns, it's easy to create layouts with any number of n columns...
16 columns
<div class="row">
<div class="col">
1
</div>
<div class="col">
2
</div>
<div class="col">
... to 16
</div>
</div>
24 columns
<div class="row">
<div class="col">
1
</div>
<div class="col">
2
</div>
<div class="col">
... to 24
</div>
</div>

Also see: N number of columns in Bootstrap 4
Set 24 Columns:
960
35px Column
5px Gutter
1200
40px Column
10px Gutter
768
29px Column
3px Gutter
Here is a quick and easy way I found to do 16 columns using nesting...
.no-padding {
padding-left: 0 !important;
padding-right: 0 !important;
}<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3 no-padding">
<div class="col-md-3">
col
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
col
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
col
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
col
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3 no-padding">
<div class="col-md-3">
col
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
col
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">

</div>
<div class="col-md-3">

</div>
<div class="col-md-3 no-padding">
<div class="col-md-3">

<div class="col-md-3">

<div class="col-md-3">

some customization may be required depending on you requirement
You can override the width attribute with percentage like this:
<div class="col-md-1" style="width: 6.25%">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1" style="width: 6.25%">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1" style="width: 6.25%">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1" style="width: 6.25%">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1" style="width: 6.25%">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1" style="width: 6.25%">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1" style="width: 6.25%">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1" style="width: 6.25%">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1" style="width: 6.25%">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1" style="width: 6.25%">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1" style="width: 6.25%">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1" style="width: 6.25%">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1" style="width: 6.25%">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1" style="width: 6.25%">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1" style="width: 6.25%">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1" style="width: 6.25%">nothing</div>
<div class="col-md-1" style="width: 6.25%">nothing</div>
It will even maintain the responsive capabilities.
