Is it possible to populate all four sections of the grid with the newest post from four different categories? I specified the four categories by selecting “- All Categories -” in the Category Filter with the four categories listed in the Multiple Categories Filter “18,11,10,12” but when I look at the results, there’s two posts from the same category and two from another category. Am I doing something wrong?

Hello ven,
Unfortunately, our theme has not been designed to populate all four sections of the grid with the newest post from four different categories. The algorithm of sorting posts in big grid is by latest articles from your category. If you set some 4 different categories, the Big Grid will display you the ultimate/latest posts in your categories per total, not individual for each category. Big grid is a single complex structure and will display the latest post per total not only by categories. I hope you understand how this works. If you want to make to function the Big Grid what you want, it is necessary to make some customization in core file and also are required custom work.
To display more levels you need custom modifications and I suggest to hire a freelancer to do this for you as we cannot provide custom work at this time, sorry!
Another possibility for you, would be to use this scheme in Visual Composer, to achieve what you want: Big slide + Block 3 (set the limit post number to 1) + Block 15 (set the limit post number to 2), like this: http://screencast.com/t/cgx5O3HTl – http://screencast.com/t/eJsutCef0Dx – http://screencast.com/t/4U2drugHSjR3 After, then you can set each block to a different category, as well.
The result you should see here: http://screencast.com/t/06Z386uK8 -also, with a bit of Css you can make a style of this, as you want.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you!
