A bit lost

    Hi,

    I have installed the plugin but I don’t get how to use it. I have browsed through this support forum and I guess that we need to input one line on the page to indicate which posts/pages we have to use to create the grid. But where do we get the instructions to know which to choose? (I have also tried with some lines of such code I saw here and there, but it did nothing).

    Also, just to make sure I understand, this plugin take the featured images of posts or pages, create thumbnails and list them in a grid format (+ clickable to the actual post/page), right?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,

    The thumbnail grid does not create thumbnails for you. You need to add your own featured images to posts in order to have them display in the grid.

    If you want thumbnails generated for you, you would have to find a different plugin to do that.

    A great place to start learning about how WordPress works is by going to WpBeginner. Here is a link about featured images.

    And another one explaining ShortCodes

    More detailed instructions can be found on our web site. You can start by creating a post and typing

    [thumbnailgrid].

    Save the post, view it, and you should see your first thumbnail grid. If you haven’t assigned featured images to your posts, you may or may not see a default thumbnail which is usually just a gray square. If not, the are will be blank. In order for something else to show up there, you must add a featured image to it.

    If it isn’t doing anything, it’s possible that it isn’t installed properly.

    Thanks for your reply. I will have to read the info you provide more in depth to figure out how to select certain categories. Glad I have already managed to get it to work for my front page!

    Thanks!
