Click a tab, the grid updates instantly – no page reload. The tabs are built from the categories your grid is already set to show, so a tab can never come up empty. Turn it on with one checkbox. Related posts, without another plugin Keep readers on your site by showing related posts under each article. Match by category, choose how many to show, and display them as a grid or a slider. The post being read is excluded automatically. Add related="1" to the shortcode, or flip the toggle in the block: [psc_print_post_grid related="1"] Post grid features Responsive grid with independent column counts for desktop, 1024px, 800px and 640px Two layouts: Default and List Category filter tabs with instant AJAX filtering Include or exclude categories, post types, and individual posts Choose what each card shows: excerpt, date, author, comment count, Read More Set your own excerpt length Colour pickers for heading, meta, content and Read More link Sort by date, title, author, name, random or comment count Live preview before you publish Gutenberg block and shortcode Post slider features Responsive thumbnail slider / carousel Autoplay with pause on mouse over Captions and pager, both optional Set thumbnail width and height Custom link support per post Include or exclude categories, post types, and individual posts Sort by date, title, author, name, random or comment count Live preview before you publish Gutenberg block and shortcode Works with your setup Any theme – the grid and slider inherit your fonts Any custom post type, including WooCommerce products Block editor, Classic editor, or a PHP template call Multisite Translation ready WordPress capabilities, so you control which roles can manage sliders and grids Live demos Post grid demo Horizontal post slider demo Vertical post slider demo What you get for free Everything above is in the free plugin. One slider and one grid, both fully working – not a trial, not time limited, no feature nagging inside the settings. That is enough for most sites: a grid on your blog page, filter tabs so readers can narrow it down, and related posts under each article. When you would want Pro Pro exists for people who outgrow one grid. You would know if that is you: You need more than one. Different grids on different pages, each with its own categories, columns and colours. Free saves one configuration; Pro saves as many as you like. You want a layout with more character. Pro adds Masonry, Overlay and Magazine to the Default and List layouts you already have. Your related posts should be smarter. Match on tags or any custom taxonomy instead of categories, sort so the closest matches come first, and insert them under every article automatically without editing a template. You want to know what works. Pro records clicks per grid and per post, so you can see which placement earns attention and which quietly does nothing. No visitor data is stored – just daily counters. Your filter tabs need to do more. Any taxonomy, a dropdown instead of buttons, multi select, post counts, and a preselected term. You want the slider to do more. Vertical sliding, continuous ticker mode, 16 easing effects, AJAX pagination and social sharing buttons. One payment, no subscription. See the Pro version and live demos Get support
