Generic Grid

One to four, chosen per breakpoint. Sky Addons for Elementor ships the Generic Grid at three columns on desktop, two on tablet and one on mobile, and Row Gap and Column Gap are separate responsive sliders, so vertical and horizontal spacing can differ on a phone without touching CSS.

Yes. Show Pagination prints numbered page links under the Generic Grid, driven by WordPress’s own paged variable, and they disappear automatically when the query fits on one page. Be aware it is a full page load rather than AJAX, and two paginated widgets on the same page will share a single page number.

A 360px image band with a two-line date chip in its top-left corner, then a content block that rides 16px up over the image holding a category pill, a 22px title and a ten-word excerpt. Text is centre-aligned by default here, which is unusual among the Sky Addons post widgets and is what gives the grid its even, catalogue-like rhythm.

Same card, different container. The Grid lays the cards out in a static CSS grid of up to four columns with optional numbered pagination, so every post is on the page at once and crawlable; the Carousel puts the identical card on a swipeable track with autoplay, arrows and bullets, and goes up to six across. Pick the Grid when nothing should be hidden behind a swipe.

Nine. The Limit field is preset to 9 on the Generic Grid, higher than the 6 most Sky Addons post widgets use, because three columns of three is the shape it was designed around. Offset sits beside it and skips a number of posts from the top — the usual way to run a feature grid above a secondary one without repeating anything.

Both. Order By offers Date, Title, ID, Author, Comment Count, Menu Order and Random, each with ascending or descending order. Ignore Sticky Posts is on by default, so a pinned post will not jump to the front of the grid unless you turn that switch off.

Nothing renders — no grid, no empty frame, no “nothing found” message. That keeps a tightly filtered section from leaving a broken-looking hole, but it also means a section built only from this widget can vanish entirely, so give it a heading or a fallback if the page must never look short.

Any size registered in WordPress: Thumbnail, Medium, Medium Large, Large, 1536×1536, 2048×2048 or Full, with Large as the default. Posts with no featured image are not left blank — the card draws Elementor’s placeholder graphic instead, so the grid keeps its shape while you fill the gaps.

No, and that is a real limit worth knowing before you build. The Generic pair carries a date chip only — there is no author toggle in its Additional section. If a byline matters, the Sapling, Mate, Naive, Luster and Post List widgets in Sky Addons all have Show Author switches alongside the date.

No. The query panel is part of the widget: include by author or taxonomy term, exclude by author, term, a hand-picked list or the post currently being viewed, plus a date window from today back to the last year or a custom before/after pair. It needs no add-on and no Elementor Pro.
