How to Display Your WordPress Posts in a Grid Layout

How to Display Your WordPress Posts in a Grid Layout

Most WordPress themes do not come with a grid layout display of your posts. Some users want to do this to change how their layout of posts look and this is one method. In this video, we will show you how to display your WordPress posts in a grid layout.

Summary of this tutorial:

Start by installing and activating the Post Grid plugin.

Once activated go to Post Grid, New Post grid to begin creating your post grid.

There are multiple sections that you can customize but we recommend starting with the Query Post tab.

You can select the post type you want to to display, by default it will show posts.

Under the layout tab you can select how the content will be displayed and tweak it further under layout settings.

With that setup, you can use the shortcode to embed it on to the page you would like.

      +Nonglak Chicthai Normally you would add the featured image using a box in the bottom right of the edit post screen.

    Thanks. I wanted to setup my homepage as a grid layout in my Twenty Fourteen theme and couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong with Grid Post.

    Thanks for the video! It is really helpful, but is there anyway that I can make it to show 3 columns instead of 2?

      You would need to edit the width of the grid items.

    Thanks for this tutorial! I have a lifestyle blog and am trying to figure out how to create post grids within each of my category pages… is this possible with this particular plugin?

    • Erik Bush on October 20, 2017 at 3:13 am

      You can do that with the Post Grid Plugin! you have to make new Post grids (one for each category page) and post the code for each one in the description box of each category page

    Hi, Thanks for the video !

    How to select the category of post I want to put on each grid ?
    I see there is “Taxonomy & Terms (Categories)”, but it’s written below “No categories found.” even though I have categories created..

    Any help ?
