Hi there,
On a post grid on my home page, I have it set to pull the category “National Parks”. A recently published article about Chiricahua is filed under the Category (and also the tag) of “National Parks”. So I can’t figure out why it’s not showing in the post grid? It works for every other article. Screenshots attached.

Hey Trevor, thanks for contacting us.
You can add hover effects with CSS to your post grid images. Here’s an example:
.kt-blocks-post-grid-item .kadence-post-image:hover {
opacity: .6;
}
Feel free to add whatever properties you like to the CSS, and copy and paste the code to Customize> Additional CSS.
Does that work for you?
Best,
Kevin
I would like to be able to sort based on individual posts. This seems like an odd feature omission.
Hi, I’m using the Post Grid/Carousel block where an excerpt of the posts can be shown. There’s an option ‘Enable Custom Excerpt Length’ and it let’s me set the length to a maximum of 100 words. Is there a way to increase this wordcount? Actually i’d like to show the full content here. Can that be done? Maybe with a separate codesnippet?
Is there a way to add hover animations to the images in a Post Grid? An example would be how the images jump in the Carbonate theme ( *Login to see link ). Or even adding the the animation like the one from the Portfolio Grid Block to the Post grid Block.
Thanks
Hello, is there a way to have the post grid carousel block, the one with the image at the left, to have the image at the right?
Thx.
Hi Mecra,
Thanks for contacting us and apologies for the delay.
Typically when you want to add a related posts area, I would recommend simply using the Post Grid/Carousel Block. It’s super flexible and can be set to display whatever content you like, anywhere on your site.
Does that option work for you?
Best,
Kevin
Hi, because of how queries work this is not a good way to “show/hide” posts. I strongly urge you to use a taxonomy if you want to display specific posts and not others.
Using meta requires a longer query and is much hard to easily see in the admin editor. Also there is no good system for selectively choosing a specific post grid query over any others.
If I’ve not convinced you then the filter you are looking for is kadence_blocks_pro_posts_grid_query_args and you can filter the $arg array before it runs the query.
See: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#custom-field-post-meta-parameters

I have a set of posts that I displaying with the post/grid carousel.
I have now added a custom field called “Show/Hide”, which is a boolean field and is meant to selectively allow me to include or exclude a post from presentation.
Is there a way for me to hook into the query to display/hide these posts?
Apologies in advance if this turns out to be a simple solution or something I’m doing wrong on my part.
I’m prepping a new site, and here is the Blog’s archive page –
http://*Login to see link
When I click to edit, I have a Post/Grid Carousel set up with filtering. When I go to preview the post archive page, I’m taken to an unformatted home page.
In short, the Blog Posts archive that you can see is not the page I’ve created in edit mode. Also, there is only one archive page that I’ve created.
Hope I’m being clear above.
We have chosen to use 16:9 as our featured image resolution in blog posts (a resolution supported by Kadence Theme). 16:9 is not available for Post/Grid Carousel block. For design reasons, it would be nice to have.
Any way to get around this via css? Tips welcome.
How can I display upcoming events (CPT) in the post grid block?
Hey,
Thanks for reaching out! Can you confirm that those posts are not being shown through the post grid/carousel block? If so, you could adjust the excerpt in the blog settings. Can you post a link so I can see how you have things set up?
Thanks,
Hannah
Hey,
I’m not sure which part of the example page you’re referencing. There isn’t a built-in way to make all these changes within the Post Grid/Carousel Block. You could try the Portfolio Grid/Carousel block for some additional styles to display your posts. Otherwise you could use something like the info box block, but you would have to manually add these.
Kindly,
Hannah
Hello,
I can’t figure out how to get the Post Grid/carousel to display both the top filtering and the bottom pagination.
It’s either one, but not both.
I’d like to have 6 articles on the page (with top filter for categories) and pagination at the bottom to se older posts.
I’m testing with this theme right now.

Does anyone know how to achieve this?
Thanks!
Hey Glenn, thanks for reaching out and apologies for the delay.
The Post Grid/Carousel Block should work for an infinite scroll home page blog. Can you please link to your site so that we can see how the infinite scroll is behaving?
Thanks,
Kevin
Hi Amy, thanks for reaching out!
Just to be sure that we’re understanding your goals fully, can you please link to your home page so that we can see how it’s currently configured? You should be able to hook into the home page using the default hooked element type, without the need to use the template type.
You can also add a Post Grid/Carousel block to the page instead of the recent posts. This will allow you to customize it using the block settings without having to use a Hooked Element.
Apologies if I’m misunderstanding, and thanks in advance for sharing a link as well as any additional details you can provide.
Thanks!,
Kevin
Hi I would like the home page to have the blog posts with infinite scrolling. However I also want additional content on the page… when I set the home page page in the customizer to “Your latest posts”. I can’t see how to add additional content there?
When I set to static page it won’t let me select the blog page as my home page.
I tried using the block “Post Grid/Carousel” but it does not appear to support infinite scrolling?
There’s a button in infinite scrolling in the customizer about custom post types but I don’t understand how that would work?
Thanks, Glenn
I might be missing something super basic here, but I’m stumped. I have been trying to create an Element Hook Template to replace the display in either the Post List or Post Grid/Caro Blocks, to be used to customize the way my recent posts look on my Home Page. But I can’t seem to make it happen, it only seems to work if I’m not using a static page with blocks and instead using Your Latest Posts setting without being able to customize further. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hi there,
I like using the Post Grid Carousel in my blog posts so that I can link to other related posts of my choosing, I select the posts individually instead of by query (I have “similar posts” turned on as well, but it never links to the most relevant posts). I love this block!
However, when I turn “read more” on, there is always a big space in between the excerpt and the “read more” text. I have tried adjusting the padding and margins to zero, and even put negative numbers in there, to no avail. Anybody know how I can get rid of this extra space?
