Hi Ben,

I have read probably the whole support, tried a few codes you have around but still i haven’t managed to reach what i am trying to do.

I have both of your themes, but as i am a virtue lover, i prefer to stick with it but the main thing i enjoy on pinnacle is the blog photo grid – *Login to see link

i can not figure out to get anything similar… I have even tried external plugins/ widgets as content views, the post grid and postgrid. The last one allows me to create something similar as the one you have on pinnacle but not as good; but when i try to use the shortcode, i guess it is not compatible as it shows a blank page.

As i use the builder, The only other idea I have is to use the widget ‘virtue: post grid’ but the images are far too small and i don’t see an option to add the transparence with the post name & date…..

at the moment, i am using a standard page as ‘home’ and on the builder, i use the widget ‘text’ with the code = [blog_posts columns=”2″ items=”6″ orderby=”date” word_count=1 type=normal]

With this code, I have a few issues:

– if i dont have the full screen open, the ‘squares’ ends up in different sizes
– i removed the ‘read more’. the word_count=0 doesn’t work so i am using it =1 but just under the title still showing (…)
– do not have an option to use the post date as on pinnacle

In resume, is there any way or a trick that i can reach the postgrid or at least reach a similar look of the pinnacle post photo grid?

I have tried the other way around, to change my theme back to pinnacle but in this case i can reach the ‘look’ that we just created with virtue, which we are very happy with.

Many thanks 🙂
