Use pages in Big Grid 3

We need to display three pages within the Big Grid 3 element on our homepage. I can only get it to work using posts. Is there a way around this?

If not, What is the best way to replicate the Big Grid 3 styles?

Thanks.

Hi

You can display pages in big gir by adding this custom post types in grid’s filter like here: http://screencast.com/t/byK5MDwxTU Please note that the page will appear in grid witout featured image because they weren’t designed to have a featured image or to be displayed in blocks/grids: http://screencast.com/t/GsKtQunqzg

Hope this help.
Thanks!

Great, thank you! How can we apply an image to the pages then?

Hi

The theme wasn’t designed to display featured images for pages but you can achieve that by adding this line in functions.php file like here: http://screencast.com/t/E9FpfjvDm9On

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

Thanks!

I’m trying to do something similar. I don’t mind using posts. But I don’t want the entire big grid 3 to use the same categories and filters. I’d like the large article on the left to be either its own category OR be able to manually select posts.

I was excited about the filter by post id option you suggested, but when I edit the filters for Big Grid 3, there is not option given for post ids.
