Visual Composer – how to create a grid of page items

Posted in: Newspaper

I am trying to create an image grid consisting of the feature images and titles of pages only.

I try to use the Post Grid item in Visual Composer.
I select Data Source: “Page” and leave other options at the default settings.
Nothing ever shows.

On the Visual Composer support area I found a similar issue and they responded with:

Hi, once you add post grid you have option to choose Data Source and there should be pages listed. If for some reason they are not listed check if you have any errors in browser console and make sure to use latest version of VC. Otherwise please apply for support at support.wpbakery.com and share your site credentials. If you received VC within a theme then you should ask your theme author to assist you and in case he is not able to help he can open support ticket at our system for you.

Do you know if the Newspaper theme supports showing an image grid of pages? Is it possible to use the “Page” data source in the Post Grid Visual Composer element?

If I cannot do this using the Post Grid VC element, how else can I achieve this?
I will also need to achieve the same grid, but with a category grid also.

Everything in the Newspaper theme seems to be geared around showing ‘Post’ links but I need to be able to direct users to categories and pages also…

Any advice is appreciated!

Hello,

I cannot say for sure about the Visual composer element as we are not the plugin creators. What i can suggest is our theme modules blocks that can show pages if you enter the ‘page’ post type in this field: http://screencast.com/t/on1jznwN
You can use any theme block to show pages in the style you want.

Thank you!

Hello,

I found the pages were not showing because of an unrelated javascript error… which stopped proceeding javascript from Visual Composer executing and hence showing the posts.

Thanks for your response!
