About this plugin

AnWP Post Grid adds 8 post grid and post carousel slider widgets to Elementor. Pick the posts, pick a layout and style the cards, all in the Elementor panel. Columns, slides and card height follow your Elementor breakpoints, so the live page looks like the editor preview on every device.

  • Light Grid: a compact grid – a small thumbnail beside each title and its meta, with load more and pagination.
  • Classic Grid: the classic blog card – image, title, excerpt and meta, with load more and pagination.
  • Classic Blog: a blog list with the image beside the excerpt, load more and pagination.
  • Hero Block: one large featured post with smaller ones beside it – a front-page header.
  • Simple Slider: an image card carousel with autoplay, loop, arrows and dots.

Features

  • Choose posts by category, tag, author, post format or post ID, or show related posts. Exclude posts, categories or authors, and limit to posts from the last N days.

  • Category colors for the category badges (background and text).
  • Post icons: show an icon on posts of a category, tag or post format.
  • Columns, slides and card height per device, following your Elementor breakpoints (custom widths too). Columns and slides also take their own values on extra devices like Laptop or Tablet Extra.
  • Template system: override any layout from your theme.
  • Works with most themes out of the box. RTL support.

AnWP Post Grid Premium

Premium is an add-on: install it next to this plugin and you get 8 more widgets and 5 more features, with all 8 free widgets still there. The Premium widgets work like the free ones – the same “Posts to Show”, category, tag, author and related-posts options, the same Elementor breakpoints – and they show up in the panel when you search “anwp”.

8 more widgets

  • Hex Grid (NEW in Premium 1.1.0): posts as interlocking hexagon tiles – responsive columns, load more, pagination and the header filter.
  • News Ticker: a breaking-news headline bar – a continuous marquee, or one post at a time sliding sideways or up.
  • Card Slider: a card carousel with hover effects and autoplay.
  • Hero Slider: a full-width slider with a Ken Burns effect and post navigation.
  • Mosaic Slider: tall cards and stacked pairs mixed into a sliding mosaic, in 3 styles.
  • Scale Grid: the post under the mouse grows and shows its excerpt – the others stay grayscale.
  • Simple Ratio Grid: cards locked to the image aspect ratio you pick, with load more and pagination.
  • Parallax Grid: 3D tilt cards that follow the mouse, with a moving highlight and shadow.

5 more features

  • Header Category Filter: category tabs above a grid – visitors switch categories without a page reload. Works on Simple Grid, Light Grid, Classic Grid, Classic Blog, Hex Grid and Simple Ratio Grid, and tabs that don’t fit fold into a “more” menu.
  • Advanced Pagination: page numbers with previous / next buttons, ellipsis and your own labels, on the 4 free grids and Hex Grid.
  • Custom Taxonomy: filter any of the 16 widgets by terms from a custom taxonomy, not only categories and tags – and show those terms in place of the category label.
  • Taxonomy Redirects: send a category or tag archive to a page of your choice (301).
  • Widget Blocks: design a block with Elementor and show it in any sidebar or footer widget area.

Every plan covers 3 sites and comes with a 7-day free trial and a 14-day refund guarantee. Screenshots, plans and prices: AnWP Post Grid Premium widgets. Try them live on the Premium demo site.
