How to Create a Gallery for a Category of Blog Posts
6 replies · Started by John on May 15, 2022
Hi!
I have organized my blog by category.
These categories are arranged and listed in a widget:
Category 1
Category 2
Category 3
When a user clicks a category of interest, they see all the posts in that category listed in chronological sequence most recent first. Each post consists of a thumbnail and an excerpt. The number of post excerpts to six per page. as an endless scroll is not a nice experience.
This works ok, but it's difficult for someone to easily get an overview of all the content available in a particular category.
What would work much better is if all the post thumbnails in a category were arranged in a gallery that the user could easily scan. When a user found something of interest, clicking the thumb would link to the relevant post.
I'm looking for suggestions about how to do this.
Thank You!

Let me know :)
Hi Leo:
Login credentials sent.
So basically you want to remove the title and excerpt on the /category/origami-tutorials/ archives?
We have to think this through a little more carefully before I answer your question.
I'll be back.
Sounds good.
Hi!
I've found the perfect plugin that does exactly what I was hoping for.
Essential Grid will sort and filter the featured image of blog posts into a gallery with each image linked to its respective post. There are many features and options that cover a host of needs.
Excellent support, knowledge base, and collection of video tutorials.
Hope this useful info to someone else.
