GS Posts Grid shows your blog posts in clean, modern layouts anywhere on your site. Choose which posts to show (latest posts, or posts from certain categories and tags), pick a design in the shortcode builder, see it in the live preview, and paste one shortcode or block.

Use it for a “Latest from the blog” section on your homepage, a related reading block on landing pages, or a full blog page that looks better than your theme’s default archive.

How it works

  1. Go to GS Posts Grid > Shortcode and create a new shortcode.
  2. Pick a view and design, then choose which posts to show in the Query tab. The live preview updates as you change settings.
  3. Copy the shortcode, for example [gs-posts-grid id=1], into any page or post, or use the GS Posts Grid block or widget in your page builder.

Each shortcode has four tabs:

  • General: design, columns per device, link type (single page or popup), image size and pagination.
  • Style: image effects, category colors and typography.
  • Query: how many posts to show, sorting, and which categories and tags to include or exclude.
  • Visibility: which post details show on each device, and what appears in the popup.

Shortcode usage

[gs-posts-grid id=1]

In a theme file:

<?php echo do_shortcode( '[gs-posts-grid id=1]' ); ?>

See the documentation for every option.
