How to Use the Elementor Post Grid Widget (with Flexi Post Grid)
The Elementor post grid widget is one of the most popular ways to display blog posts, portfolios, or news layouts in WordPress. But Elementor Pro’s default “Loop Grid” can feel limited — especially if you need filters, AJAX load more, or advanced styling.
This is where Flexi Post Grid comes in: a free and premium plugin designed to make post grids more powerful, customizable, and performance-friendly.
Step 1: Install & Activate Flexi Post Grid

Step 3: Configure Your Query
Flexi Post Grid gives you flexible query options:
- Select which post type to display (Posts, Pages, or Custom Post Types)
- Filter by categories or tags to control what content shows up

Step 4: Apply Preset Styles (One-Click Templates)
The highlight feature of Flexi Post Grid is Preset Styles.
- Choose from 15+ professionally designed grid templates

- Customize further if needed (fonts, colors, overlays, spacing)
This makes your blog or portfolio look polished without needing to design from scratch.
Step 5: Customize Layout & Style
Beyond presets, you can adjust:
