General Settings

Go to GS Posts Grid → Shortcode to create or edit a shortcode. The General Settings tab lets you control the basic layout, structure, and content display of your posts grid.

Set a shortcode name and adjust column numbers for desktop, tablet, and both horizontal and vertical mobile views to ensure proper layout across devices. Choose a view type and enable pagination when displaying a larger set of posts.

You can control how grid items are linked, including link behavior and link type. Image size options help maintain visual consistency, while Pro settings such as title tag, title length type, and date format give you additional control over content presentation. The Details Control option allows you to manage which post information is shown.

These settings keep your grid flexible while remaining easy to set up and manage.

Style Settings

The Style Settings tab lets you control the visual appearance of your posts grid, helping it blend naturally with your website’s design.

You can apply image filters and hover effects to featured images for a more polished look. Background options allow you to set category background colors or use gradient backgrounds, with angle control for fine-tuning the visual direction.

Typography settings give you control over how text elements appear across the grid. You can customize title typography, while Pro options allow additional control over category, tag, author, date, details, and excerpt typography. These options help maintain visual consistency and improve readability across different layouts.

Style Settings are designed to give you flexible design control while keeping customization simple and straightforward to manage.

Query Settings

The Query Settings tab controls which posts are displayed in your grid and how they are organized.

You can choose how many posts to show and define the order in which they appear using options such as date, title, or custom order. Category-specific ordering options let you control how posts are sorted within selected categories.

Filtering options allow you to display posts from specific categories or tags, helping you focus on relevant content. With the Pro option, you can also select specific posts to display, giving you more precise control over what appears in the grid.

These settings make it easy to build targeted post grids while working with familiar WordPress query behavior.

Visibility Settings

The Visibility Settings tab controls which post information is displayed in the grid and how it behaves based on the selected Link Type.

When Link Type is set to Single Page, visibility options are applied directly to the post grid. You can choose to show or hide elements such as post title, category, tags, author, excerpt, details, and thumbnail for different devices. This allows you to keep the grid clean while showing only the most relevant information.

When Link Type is set to Popup, an additional Popup Fields section becomes available. These fields control what information appears inside the popup instead of the grid itself. Popup fields can be easily reordered using drag and drop, allowing you to define the content flow inside the popup view.

This flexible visibility system lets you control content display separately for grid and popup views, helping you present posts in a structured and user-friendly way across different layouts and devices.
