The Grid Video Lightbox & Thumbnail

Support
#1

Hi,

We’d like to use The Grid as a post directory that has lightbox videos as thumbnails, would like to ask how to do that? I guess its possible, just cant find the guide how to: https://theme-one.com/the-grid/kampala/

Thanks

PS. Here is our grid page https://www.globalmusicgarden.com/browse-challenges/
Noticed I had to use the short code and content area instead of the element “classic the grid”. The element would say “there is no grid found” some sort.

We have one post there that we hopefully want to look like the video posts in the kampala example below, but when you click it a lightbox doesnt appear and instead we are led to the post page.

I noticed in the post page, not sure where plugin it comes from but there is already a ready option for choosing different types of posts, including video. So instead of “standard post” i chose that, and it also asked for the iframe of the youtube video which I placed.

Update: So I found the Kampala skin in the post area, and the lightbox video is now working, but how do I get the post title, post description, and a like option to display in the thumbnail?

Thanks much

Hi @Tore_Lande_67,

Thanks for writing in.

I believe that you will check the link below to edit the skin to display the thumbnail post title, desc and etc…

You could check more the documentation to understand more grid.

Thanks I think I got it now, just want in our page nothing loads and first load, only until you click a category. How do I make it so that all posts will load at first load of the page? Thanks
