Hi there, I’m creating specific pages and would like to put in Post Grids. I’m using Gutenberg and Generate Blocks free version. My theme is Generate press Marketer. FYI all this is to AVOID using heavy page builders like Elementor of course.
For Example the page could be (no sidebar):
Top
1. Call to action
2. Post grid 4 columns
3. A different call to action
4. Post grid 4 columns.I’m using the Marketer theme, and the regular category/archive pages of course appear with Post Grids and is customisable in the customizer (columns, masonry etc).
My question is how can I use this generate press marketer post grid within a page I’m creating? And have control about where it appears. Basically I want to create a page (also for the homepage too) and have the ability to put in post grids (2 /3 columns etc) as and where I’d like. And have the ability to filter content to the posts I choose.
Another question is if Generate Blocks Pro has a specific Post Grids option? I can’t see it in the demo specifically as a block for post grids. Research online shows people are using plugins like Kadence which has post grids with content filters. But I don’t see why I should do this when already on my site there is post grids. I’d like to stay within Generate press/blocks.
My idea is that I don’t have to use another block editor (eg Gutenberg Post Blocks, Kadence) because the post grids already in the GP marketer theme are all I need.
Thanks!
FYI I have now discovered WP Show Posts from Generate Press. I’ll be giving that a try. But I still wonder if more complex Post Grid Layout templates are available in Generate Blocks Pro?

Hi Paul,
Yes, to add posts to a static page, you’ll need WP show posts.
You might need some CSS to adjust the layout of the posts to match the style of your blog page.
Let me know if you need further assistance 🙂
Thanks for the quick reply. In WP show posts I’m wondering how to adjust the colour of the title element (the article headlines). Do I need to add specific CSS for this?
At the moment it seems to appearing in the same colour as the title element for recommended articles in the sidebar (All the other colours for text are set to black).
Do you have specific CSS for the text colour of the WP show posts title element?
Thanks!
The title of each post is a link, so it follows the link color set in Customizer > colors > body. You can change the color there.
Thanks. Yes I saw that, but I didn’t think that’s correct. Obviously the body text without a link (black) shouldn’t be the same colour as the body text with a link (also black).
Is there any specific CSS to get around this problem?
Cheers!
Yes, we could use this CSS only target the WP show posts’ titles:
h2.wp-show-posts-entry-title a { color: #666666; }Thanks a lot – I’ll give that a try!
No problem 🙂
