Hi again, I am trying to do something like this page: https://fotoeduterapia.com/cursos-y-talleres/ or this one: https://www.instituto8.org/formacion/
I have been trying with columns + insert image and paragraph block but is not easy. I also tried with media+ text block but I can`t get a unified size for each box. I wonder if there is any plugin or tool that helps to do this as simple as possible.
Thank you in advance,

Hi there,

will the 'image boxes' link to a post or page ? Like your blog would?

Yes, the will link to a page. It will not link a blog.

You could use the WP Show Posts plugin:

https://wpshowposts.com

Which would allow you to create a post grid for your pages which will display the Pages featured image and the excerpt.

To add the Excerpt Field to your Pages Editor ( like Posts ) - add this PHP Snippet.

add_post_type_support( 'page', 'excerpt' );

How to add PHP: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

What I need is not an excerpt but a "title" of the page linked to the image.

I have not ever worked with PHP and don't know where to add it. I don't understand the link you send me. I guess it will take me some time of searching, is a new universe. Thanks!

WP Show Posts as David suggested should be the way to go.

You have the option to show the title only.

As for adding PHP, the article David provided explained 3 methods of adding it. Code Snippets would be the easiest if you aren't using a child theme already.

The images are small because the columns are narrow.
And the columns are narrow because the width of your content container is also narrow.

How are you building that page is it using the normal editor or a pagebuilder?

Normal editor and generatepress, I am not using any pagebuilder

I have changed the content width to the maximum (2000px) ans still the same thing... :S

Are you using the Layout Element anywhere ?

Yes I am using layout content everywhere in the webpage...

If you're setting the Content Width in the Layout Element. Then you will need to:

1. Edit the current Layout Element and on the Display Rules tab > Exclude the page with the WP Show Posts shortcode. Do this for any page you want to be wider.

2. Optional - create a new Layout Element that you apply to the wider pages.

I finally solved the problem!! THe thing is that I copied the shortcut inside a block or column inside the page. That is why it didn't work. Now I am trying to change the fonts typography and the size but I can`t do it in the free version. I don't see the typography option in the pro version either.
Can you recommend me any other plugin? I need it to be simple because I am not very good at web design. I would love to do something similar to this:

Thank you in advance for your help, regrets from Spain,
