What it does
Many portfolio plugins lock you into fixed rows or rigid grid schemes, which makes every gallery look the same. This plugin lets you build custom layouts that fit whatever container they sit in. A visual builder shows changes in real time, and you can arrange items by hand in Manual Mode or let Dynamic Mode generate grids with pagination, shuffled items and repeated structures. On smaller screens, complex layouts switch to simpler, touch-friendly versions with lighter images.
Content can come from many places. The grid supports 14 item types, including images, sliders, audio players, embedded videos, custom content and post content, and it can pull from WordPress posts, WooCommerce products or your Media Library. Each item can carry custom attributes with icons, such as author or category. Visitors can filter the grid, open items in a lightbox with deep linking, and share them on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and WhatsApp.
Best for
- Photographers and designers presenting a body of work
- Agencies building client portfolio pages
- Stores displaying WooCommerce products in a visual grid

Questions about Media Grid
Can I show videos and audio in the grid, or only photos?
You can show much more than photos. The plugin supports 14 item types, including images, sliders, audio players, embedded videos, custom content and post content, and you can mix them within a single grid.
How does the portfolio look on phones?
Layouts are responsive, and on smaller screens the plugin automatically switches complex grids to simpler versions. These mobile layouts use lighter images and touch-friendly item sizes so they are easier to browse on smartphones and tablets.
Can I build a grid from my existing posts or WooCommerce products?
Yes. Grids can pull content from WordPress posts, WooCommerce products or images in your Media Library, so you can display existing content without recreating it item by item.
Do I have to place every item by hand?
No. Manual Mode lets you control each element if you want that, but Dynamic Mode generates grids for you with pagination, shuffled items and repeated layout structures.
