Choosing the grid layout with template tags and limiting resources

    How do I choose the which grid layout will used when using template tags?

    And also how do I limit the images displayed to just those from a specific page or category?

    This is the current code I have on my static homepage:

    <?php
the_wp_tiles( array(
        'grids' => true,
    'grid' => 'Plain',
     'full_width'    => false
) ); ?>

    I want to use a grid layout called Plain and also limit the output to images from category 67.

    Thanks in advance

    Ok I’ve made some more progress with:

    <?php

$query = new WP_Query(array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => 4,
'paged' => 1
) );
// WP Tiles arguments
$args = array(
'grids' => plain
);
// Display the tiles
the_wp_tiles( $query, $args );
?>

    All I need to now to limit the output to images from my gallery category or pages.

    Hi @c-m,

    Check out the docs of WP_Query for extra info on querying categories: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Category_Parameters

    Basically, if you add the cat argument, you can query by category ID:

    $query = new WP_Query(array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'posts_per_page' => 4,
    'paged' => 1,
    'cat' => 67
) );

    Cheers,
    Mike
