Overview

👉 For more information about the plugin, visit the documentation website.

A layout builder is a tool that helps you creating visual structures in your page, from a simple layout made by adjacent columns, to more complex compositions. Grids is entirely based on the WordPress block editor, which means that you’ll be able to use it together with the myriad of content blocks that developers and designers from all around the World are creating.

With Grids, we’re bringing a visual structure to the content written with the WordPress Block Editor.

👉 Sections & areas

Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly.
by akinorikul·6 months ago·1 reply

Using the version 1.3.10, I got the Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the grids domain was triggered too early…
To get ride of it, I removed translation wrappers function in config.php and in core.php files (all the __() ).

Love this plugin!

This plugin has been extremely helpful for my website!

easy to use, pre-designed layouts
by jamesrichard01·2 years ago

I recently started using the Grids plugin for WordPress and I’m thoroughly impressed with its capabilities. The layout builder feature is extremely easy to use, and allows you to create custom page layouts in just a few clicks. The drag-and-drop interface is intuitive and the real-time preview feature is a game changer.

What I really appreciate about Grids is the level of customization it offers. You can easily adjust the width and height of columns and rows, add padding and margins, and even customize the background color and image. The plugin also includes a wide range of pre-designed layouts and templates to choose from, which is great for getting started quickly.

Another key feature of Grids is its responsive design capabilities. You can easily adjust the layout for different screen sizes and devices, ensuring that your content looks great on any screen.

I highly recommend the Grids plugin for anyone looking for a powerful and user-friendly layout builder for WordPress. It’s a great tool for creating custom pages and layouts, and offers a high level of flexibility and customization options.

Amazing plugin

The plugin is amazing. Although it would be great to be able to select different custom grids for tablet and smartphone breakpoints as well.

Where has this plugin been all of my WordPress life?
by kayelless·3 years ago

Outstanding! Just now getting used to it, but I have found no real issues with it. The only problem I see is that there’s some compatibility issues with my theme ARK. When I do adjustments to font or colors they don’t take and just stick with default. That’s not really a big problem for me. There are simple work-arounds. Outside of that this plugin is one of the best I’ve ever used.
