Hello,
I’ve been trying to use Essential Grid in X Theme in order to create a custom “recent post like” page.
My constraints:
– one column view
– grid elements won’t have featured image
– if grid element have excerpt: show it and grow block as necessary

So far I managed to arrange desired block into grid skin, and it works quite well, but I’m having no luck at letting the grid element grow in height when it has excerpt.
My actual problem:
– if I set grid to masonry layout and auto height, elements result in 0px height (is it related to the fact they don’t have any featured image?)
– if I set grid to masonry layout and manual proportions, grid elements are shown but with fixed height.

Do you have any suggestion for achieving my desired behaviour?

Thank you

Best Regards

Hey there,

Please give us the URL of the page you added the grid and access to your WordPress admin so we could check the setup.

Thanks.

Hello There,

Would you mind double checking the credentials? I am not able to login, there’s no error though.

Hello,
just checked, creds are working, maybe try disabling REMEMBER ME flag.

Best regards

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in! I have checked your site and it looks like jQuery is not loaded on the page.

You could try testing for a plugin conflict. You can do this by deactivating all third party plugins, and seeing if the problem remains. If it’s fixed, you’ll know a plugin caused the problem, and you can narrow down which one by reactivating them one at a time.

Please let us know how it goes.

Hello,
I tried deactivating all plugins an reactivating them one at a time, but the 404 error didn’t go away.
Diggin in, I noticed that actually the 404 was caused by the fact that ES Grid tries to load posts’ featured image, and sets some css background rules (but post didsn’t have a featured image, on purpose). I added a 1×1 white image as default post image and the 404 error disappeared.

Now, the original problem, grid not growing with item text, resulting in 0px height is still there.

Please check now and give some advice!

Thank you very much

Hello There,

Thanks for updating. Please keep in mind that the grid plugin is specifically designed to display a grid of images with some captions on it depending on the skin that you would like to use. The size of the grid is dependent on the size of the image. Please try to switch a skin. There maybe a skin that will display even if there is no featured image on the post.

This grid is not designed to just show you some text in it. If you just wanted to display text, I would recommend that you use recent post element instead. You can always disable the thumbnails in the recent post element so that it will just display the text.

Hoe this helps.
