This may be beyond the scope of your support, however…
With Essential Grid there are no settings to display the meta without hover. As shown in the capture I sent, the post Title only appears when hovering the featured image and there is no option in EG settings to make it appear all the time. I thought, perhaps, I could find a CSS selector and edit it so it is always visible, but no such luck. I’m hoping you might be able to provide the answer
