What it does
Presenting creative work on a WordPress site often means fighting with a theme's built-in gallery or hand-coding a layout. This plugin gives you a dedicated portfolio grid instead. You add projects, choose how they are laid out, and the grid adapts to phones, tablets and desktops. Hover effects and animations are available to give each project tile some movement, and visuals are retina ready so images stay sharp on high-resolution screens.
It fits sites built with Elementor, which it requires, and it also works with WPBakery. Projects can hold images, video or audio, and you can build more complex layouts inside a project using your page builder. Developers can copy the plugin's templates into their theme folder and customize them there, so changes are kept when the plugin is updated. It is designed to work with any WordPress theme.
Best for
- Designers and photographers presenting client work
- Videographers and audio creators sharing media projects
- Agencies building portfolio sites with Elementor

Questions about Wonder Grid
Do I need Elementor to use this plugin?
Yes, Elementor is listed as a requirement. The plugin also works with WPBakery, and both builders let you add and customize portfolio grids with drag and drop rather than code.
Can I include videos and audio in my portfolio?
Yes. Wonder Grid supports three media types: image, video and audio. You can mix them in one portfolio, which suits creatives whose work goes beyond still photos.
Will my template changes survive plugin updates?
They will if you use the template system as intended. You copy the plugin's templates into your theme folder and edit them there, which keeps your changes separate from the plugin's own files.
Will it work with my current theme?
The plugin is described as compatible with all WordPress themes, so it is designed to run regardless of which theme your site uses.
Is Wonder Grid free?
The code of Wonder Grid is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of Wonder Grid is this?
Version 1.0.8, released May 2, 2023. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update Wonder Grid?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of Wonder Grid automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
