What’s new in Fancy Bricks 1.2.2
Version 1.2.2
Latest
- NewBreadcrumb: added control to limit max categories/terms shown in taxonomy dropdowns.
What it does
Default WordPress listings often stack posts or images in a plain column, which makes portfolios and galleries feel flat. This plugin lets you lay that content out as neat grids or masonry mosaics instead. The layouts are responsive, so they adjust to different screen sizes, and you set margins, gaps and alignment from the interface rather than writing CSS. That makes it a practical choice for site owners who want more control over layout without touching code.
The plugin works alongside WordPress and the Elementor page builder, so it fits into a drag and drop workflow if you already build pages that way. Beyond the arrangement itself, you can add animations, hover effects and style variations to give each section its own look. It also includes breadcrumb navigation with a setting to limit how many categories or terms appear in taxonomy dropdowns. Typical uses include photo galleries, creative portfolios, blog archives and homepage content blocks.
Best for
- Photographers and designers building portfolio or gallery pages
- Bloggers wanting grid style post listings
- Elementor users designing custom homepage content blocks
