Essential grid - item padding fix

Support
#1

Hello there,

I’m trying to solve why when loading my essential grid, it sometimes load correctly and sometimes completely off and even sometimes in wrong order. I know it has to do something with item padding I added in skin editor and using two different skins in my grid, but could you solve this for me?

Edit: If it loads correctly and you try to resize the browser the grid also changes to the wrong position.

Hey @vojtechzikmund,

Thanks for writing in!

Because you have selected “Masonry” in the Grid Layout in the Grid Settings, the post items will have to be aligned and rearrange the order like a masonry. Masonry script will automatically fit grid items in place especially if the grid items have different in height. Please use Boxed with Even or Coobles so that you will have a uniform even grid items.

Hope this helps.

I have found a way around this, but I’m desperately trying to find out why I cannot make links to whole item work. I have done everything they do say on their support page, but nothing seems to work.

I would also like to make it work like that when hovering anywhere over the grid item the Title would do the hover option I set (line-through).

Any idea?

Hey @vojtechzikmund,

Setting the link to Cover won’t work because you don’t have a cover. What you have is Media.

You then need to set your grid elements individually.

Hope that helps.

@christian_y thank you for clarifying it. Is there a way to make the title hover effect being applied to the whole grid item when hovering over it?

Hi @vojtechzikmund,

Unfortunately, that’s not currently possible. It’s only limited to the features provided within grid skin editor/layout. It doesn’t have simple structure so fixing it with CSS wouldn’t be enough. But I think it’s doable with custom development which we can’t provide here in the forum.

Thanks!

@Rad thank you for clarifying that. hypothetical question, if I ditched using the essential grid, wouldn’t this be easier done within Pro content maker and some custom CSS?

Hey @vojtechzikmund,

Regretfully, no. That’s because grid plugins like the Essential Grid already have preset grid styles and features. You can create a grid using the Content Builder but that would require manual grid creation. You also need to have knowledge of CSS.

Hope that helps.
