Hello I have a project I'm working on that requires me to create a homepage layout as follows:

WORDPRESS POSTS CATEGORY
12 POSTS IN GRID LAYOUT

WORDPRESS POSTS CATEGORY
12 POSTS IN GRID LAYOUT

WORDPRESS POSTS CATEGORY
12 POSTS IN GRID LAYOUT

Can this be done? I'd prefer not pulling in an additional plugin into themler, but I thought maybe through shortcodes on the "Home" page in wordpress itself I could lay it out and let themler do the heavy lifting somehow.

If not I'm open to any other suggestions. Thanks for your help!

Generally this is the layout I need to achieve somehow. The post boxes are just the Featured Image and Title of the posts, not a full article.

Hello Brandon,

I apologize for such delay in reply.

This might be too late, but in case it is still relevant:

1) you can't separate posts by category title within Themler.
You may look for some manual coding instrucitons or 3rd party plugins that might achieve this

2) the boxed layout for posts can be achieved in Themler.
- select similar layout under Posts -> layout dropdown:

layout.png

- remove the elements you don't need for the posts excerpt like author, content, tags, etc. by going to Outline -> Posts and clicking on "x" icons:
elements-to-delete.png

- set up the number of columns under Posts -> Layout:
number-of-columns.png

I know how to create the post grid. The main question was how to achieve the category layout I need without using a ton of third party plugins. If I’m using plugins to design the homepage there’s no need for using themler unfortunately which is why I’m trying to do as much as possible using the tools provided.

Could this be done with a function of some kind perhaps?
