Create complex grid layout

Below the picture is a sample of a complex grid layout: various cards that have different font sizes and image ratio. Following is a step-by-step guide on how to make a similar one.

  • Create 3 card templates as designed
  • Create a section contains 2 columns, set width = 50% for each column
  • Drag and Drop 3 Grid widgets into the columns. The first Grid is on the left column and 2nd Grid, 3rd Grid is on the right Column. You can fully define all settings for the first Grid, then duplicate the grid and change the settings to have the 2nd and 3rd ones.
  • The first Grid Query Settings:
    Posts Per Page = 4; Last posts skipping quantity on each page of the pagination = 3
  • The second Grid Query Settings:
    Posts Per Page = 4; First posts skipping quantity on each page of the pagination = 1; Last posts skipping quantity on each page of the pagination = 2
