Hi guys,
first, lil´success on a milestone:
after one day off work and the weekend solved my previous problems with login/speed. Finally got a 85/100 on google website speed insights, plus loading speed of under a second (around ,5 sec) AND nothing broken on the website so far.
How I did it?
Followed Chris functions.php tutorial (see top of this forum thread), thanks Chris. Obviously not 100 percent yet and on the mobile side of things also improved dramatically, but more to do still (60/100)
Lastly, after every single tweak I checked my site (cleared cache, went to Google website insights and double checked again, before I continue so to isolate the outcome of my input and then act accordingly. Save time, educated me better and finally improved my results so far.
Tip: Don´t do anything without a backup and make sure wen you do your speed testing you use your target market location and not California or England etc if your target market is France, Brazil etc…(you´ll aleays receive bad results, although).
My Question:
How to best use images that automatically link “back” to my pages and post as I need them?
I´ve tried via grid style however the page mode on the backend seems not to work properly or i miss something (chose the ID and the type in methods) both not really fruitfull so far.
I want to have just the images (on a grid) that are clickable? Obviously the look and feel is here very important as well as page load time.
I do not necessarily want image and post excerpt like I get when I use the post/grid style.
Thanks for all who are trying to help here,
You rock.
Hi, and congratulation for your achievement! 🙂
I’m not sure that i understand your question, do you want a grid without, titles only images? like this?

Thanks for the message!
Hi Marius,
not sure which of the thumbnails in your scrrenshot you refer too now?!
However, basically either a grid that pulls pre-defined pages and or post with or without title, but NOT with description text.
I think title helps though, as long NO description text. Please advice,
Wish a great day.
Hi,
Please provide a link and more details what you are trying to do as I’m not sure what do you mean.
Marius referred to the Big Grid without article title. Do you want to hide the titles on Big Grid?
Thanks!
Hi there,
thanks!
Well, what I really want are clickable images (grid or next to each other clickabe images, what ever is easier to accomplish)) including title (no additional description text below).
The grid/images either pulled directly from post AND pages or edited. The links of the images/titles lead straight to specific posts and images (so mixed grid/image table). This what I basically need.
Hope claried.
One additional short “new” question:
how do I enable social icons on my pages? On posts they do display?
thanks.
Hi,
1. I thing you can achieve the result you want by using one of the grid layout we now have and use custom css to hide the additional informations from the post image so you just need to add the grid you want then use the filter section to chose the posts you want to display in it: http://screencast.com/t/lJXzuJfpwheE then use a css like this to hide additional information from the images leaving just the titles which will look like this: http://screencast.com/t/OA8dItmyN
If this is what you want you can sue the css code below to hide the additional descriptions from the grid:
.td_block_big_grid_8 .td-big-grid-post .td-post-category, .td_block_big_grid_8 .td-big-grid-post .td-module-meta-info {
display: none;
}
.td_block_big_grid_8 .td-big-thumb .td-big-grid-meta {
margin: 0 0 40px 20px !important;
}
You can do it for grid 7 the same way and change the css classes from 8 to 7: http://screencast.com/t/nBpzWSy3MhE
2. If you refer to these social icons: http://screencast.com/t/Zy2WXthZS those icons can’t be added anywhere else other than the top menu.
Thanks
