Do you already have a lot of contents and don’t want to lose time creating items?
You can compose grids also with them!
Media Grid supports any public post type (eg. posts or WooCommerce products) ready to be included from visual grid builder. They will be dislayed as “single image” items, with associated lightbox, or also as direct link to their original page.
Plus, every post can be tuned through several options, as you do with Media Grid items. Can be also associated to grid categories to be filtered!
CSS3 Lightbox and SEO deeplinking system
A lot of things are hidden under Media Grid lightbox: it is not only completely managed by lightweight CSS code but also optimized to let search engines find contents with ease.
The best way to keep everything fast and clean is to use AJAX calls, but normally it is against best SEO practices. Media Grid goes beyond this, using HTML5 functions to create true URLs for each element: lightbox, filters, pagination and even item searches. Everything automatically, without any additional plugin!
Try these two links related to the grid on the bottom of the demo page: “Galleries” filter “Bicycle gallery” item
But there’s more: Media grid offers also a special XML file to be used in specific SEO systems such as Google Webmaster Tools. Containing item links and associated featured images to push contents indexing as fast as possible!
Unlimited attributes
One on the most important things in a portfolio is to display clearly items characteristics. They could simply refer to the author of a photo or display the track’s album or release date.
With Media Grid you can create unlimited item attributes, with related icons, for each item type. Sort them and use only the ones needed!
Check the Bicycle Gallery item attributes
1 Click fast setup
Are you not familiar with web sizes, margins or colors? Don’t have time to manage each plugin setting?
No problem, the plugin is ready to be used out of the box and has got 10 preset styles you can enable just with one click!
Just choose what you like the most from the wizard and let Media Grid do the rest.
Once set, the style can be customized in any aspect: maximum simplicity and flexibility!
SEO Pagination system
Media Grid offers 6 different pagination solutions: from simple arrows to numbered buttons to infinite scroll! But, why is a “SEO friendly” pagination?
Item details are all loaded in the page, but only search engines will be able to completely index your awesome items. Pagination is also tracked by deeplinking system, so you can share a specific grid page.
This means no impact on page’s loading speed and at the same time a great advantage on the web!
Check all pagination types!
WooCommerce Integration
Seamlessly integrated, Media Grid is a perfect solution also to create WooCommerce products showcases.
No complex processes: everything will be managed as a native item, supporting both single/multi image products. As native items they can be customized and mixed to other item types with no change at all to the WooCommerce core.
Also product attributes and ratings are fetched and perfectly integrated in plugin systems.
Finally, Media Grid lightbox features a smart “add-to-cart” button!
Shortcode wizard
Once you’ve created grids, using them in your website is simply as use the handy shortcode wizard, located on top of any wordpress editor.
Choose the grid, the pagination system, whether to display filters, their position and choose whether to use items search system.
You can even decide to hide the “All” filter or to select a default filter that will be applied on grid’s loading.
Move item texts under featured image in two modes: attached or detached from item.
Finally you can override global grid styling: setting custom margins, borders and border radius on the fly!
Comments integration
Engage visitors and know what they think about your products!
Media Grid, thanks to its deeplinking engine, integrates with Disqus and Facebook Comments: probably the best social tools to get and manage comments seamlessly.
Obviously this feature is totally optional, you can also disable comments for specific items.
Items search system
You can easily find items with the integrated searching system: it is based on items title and works in real time, without delays!
Are titles too limitated? Use the search helper, in items editor, to add indexed words and add a semantic touch to searches!
“guitar play concert event” words have been used for “SoundCloud track” item, in the main demo: give a try!
Optionally searches and filters are also performed through pages.

As per LCweb’s philosophy, plugin’s strong point is customizability. Every aspect of grid items and lightbox can be changed to match the look and feel you need!
