What it does
Many WordPress themes give you a plain list of posts or products and little control over how they look. This plugin gives you a set of layouts instead: a standard grid, a portfolio, a portfolio with preview, masonry and a carousel. You pick the content source, whether that is blog posts, a custom post type or WooCommerce products, choose a layout and a skin, and set how many columns to show, from 1 to 5.
It suits sites that need to present a lot of visual items in an organized way, such as project portfolios, team pages, galleries and product listings. Grids are responsive and retina ready, filters let visitors sort items, and Google Fonts can be applied to match your typography. Grids and carousels can also go into sidebars and other widget areas, and the plugin ships with .po/.mo files for translation plus video tutorials to help with setup.
Best for
- Photographers and designers building portfolio pages
- Agencies displaying projects or team members
- WooCommerce stores wanting product grids and carousels
