You have also other options for setting image width, preserving the aspect ratio, displaying the author, featured image, date, excerpt, continue reading link, and title.

Displaying WordPress Posts in a Grid Layout With Block Editor

This method doesn’t require any plugins; all you need is the block editor and nothing else.

Step 1: Insert Query Loop Block

First, open the page or post where you want to display WordPress posts in a grid layout. Click on the “Add block” button and search for “Query Loop”.

Insert the block by clicking on it. This block allows your posts to loop on your page. Now click on the “Start blank” button.

This will provide you with a few variations to start with. Here, I am selecting “Image, Date, & Title”, but you can choose any of the variations.

After clicking on it, you will see, all your posts in the list view.

Step 3: Display Posts in Grid View

Now, select the parent block.

Click on the “Grid View” button, this turns your list into a post grid.

Now, you will see your posts in a grid view.

Step 4: Customize

Next, you customize your grid view. I suggest removing the pagination first, to do that select the pagination block and click on the three dots. Click on “Remove Pagination”.

This will remove the pagination.

In the same way, you can remove the dates, just select dates, click on three dots, and click on “remove dates”.

If your headings are bigger, click on the headings and reduce the heading size to H4 or according to your wish.

It is wise to add links to both the post title and thumbnail. To do this, click on any post thumbnail, then click on settings -> toggle “Link to Post”.

Do the same for the title.

It will look something like below.

There are other customization options available, do it as you like.

If you like to show more posts, click on the query loop block and hit settings. From there, click on ‘Inherit query from template’.

It will display all other posts in the grid layout.

Finally, when you are done, hit the Update or Publish button.
