looks good but misses multiple post type query, just like any other grid plugin. Also misses the categories tag, only contains “view all”.

I searched for a long time a plugin like this because it visually it fits perfectly in my theme. However, it needs a bit of work and also a bit of support. Since I’m an amateur, I’ve spent 3 weeks learning how to edit a plugin in order to fix issues with margins and grey lines covering the thumbnails.
