JMarzTech Content Layouts – Post Grids, Sliders & Custom Fields
Most post-grid plugins show a title and a date and stop there. JMarzTech Content Layouts lets every card say exactly what you want — “Pets / May 30, 2026 / Photo, Screenshot” — from your categories, tags, dates, author, reading time and your own custom fields, in the order you choose.

Most post-grid plugins show a title and a date and stop there. JMarzTech Content Layouts lets every card say exactly what you want — “Pets / May 30, 2026 / Photo, Screenshot” — from your categories, tags, dates, author, reading time and your own custom fields, in the order you choose.
Build a display once, then drop it on any page with a shortcode. Your content stays in ordinary WordPress posts and pages: nothing is copied, nothing is locked in.
Four ways to lay out content
- Grid — even rows of cards, with the image cropped to the shape you pick (square, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 21:9, portrait) or left at its own proportions.
- Masonry — natural heights, packed into columns.
- List — the image beside the text, as a thumbnail or a large banner, one or two rows across.
- Slider — one card at a time with arrows, dots, looping, swipe and keyboard support.
Start from one of nine ready-made looks — Magazine, Featured + Grid, Lead Story, Classic Blog, News List, Wide List, Pinboard, Hero Slider and Minimal Text — or set everything yourself. Columns, gaps, corner radius and a maximum width are set per display. On tablets and phones columns drop automatically. A grid can make its first item large, across the top or two columns by two rows with the next stories beside it, magazine style.
Say what you want on each card
Pick the items for the card text and put them in order. The first is the bold first line; the rest form the second line, joined by the separator you choose. Built in: title, date published, date updated, author, categories, tags, content type, parent page, comment count, reading time, any other public taxonomy, and every custom field you add.
Text sits below the image, above it, over it, over it on hover, or not at all. Add an excerpt of any length and a “Read more” link if you like.
Choose exactly which posts
Filter by content type, category, tag, any taxonomy, any custom field, search text, date range, author, sticky status, child pages of a page, or hand-pick specific items in your own order. Leave out the page the display sits on, skip the first few, and limit how many show.
Your own fields, without ACF
Add fields under JMLayouts → Fields: text, number, date or tags. Each one gets a box on the post editor (block or classic), a column in the Library, and can appear on cards, on single pages and as a visitor filter. Stored as ordinary post meta and taxonomies.
