FAQ
Frequently asked

Loop Grid

Straight answers about what this one does, where it fits in a real build, and what it costs you to ship.

Still stuck?

Read the documentation for this one, or write to us — a human answers inside a business day.

Can I design one card and repeat it for every post?

Yes — the Loop Grid widget in Sky Addons for Elementor renders a saved Elementor Library template once for every post the query returns. You build the card as an ordinary section, save it to the library, then pick it in the widget’s Select Template field. Until a template is chosen the grid prints nothing on the front end.

Does the Loop Grid need Elementor Pro?

No. The template picker lists every saved Elementor Library template rather than only Elementor Pro’s Loop Item type, and Sky Addons ships its own dynamic tags for post title, featured image, excerpt, post terms and ACF fields. The card can therefore pull each post’s own content on a free Elementor install.

How many columns can the Elementor loop grid have?

Up to twelve. Sky Addons’ Loop Grid lays out with real CSS Grid, and the Columns control runs from one to twelve set separately per breakpoint — three on desktop, two on tablet and one on mobile by default. Row Gap and Column Gap both start at 16px and accept px or em.

Can some cards in the grid use a different design?

Yes. Switch on Apply an alternate template and add a second Elementor template with a Position in grid number. With Apply Once enabled it appears at that single position; turn it off and it repeats at that interval, so every fourth card can differ. Each alternate also takes its own Column Span, up to six.

Does the Loop Grid have pagination?

Yes — a Show Pagination switcher adds numbered page links beneath the grid. They are real URL links, so clicking one reloads the page rather than swapping the grid over AJAX, and Sky Addons hides the whole pagination block automatically when the query only fills a single page.

What content can the Loop Grid query?

Any public post type. The Source control covers posts, pages, WooCommerce products and custom post types, plus Manual Selection, Current Query and Related. You can include or exclude by term or author, offset the start, restrict by date, and order by title, ID, date, author, comment count, menu order or random. Limit defaults to six.

Can I build a WooCommerce product grid with it?

Yes. Set the source to your products post type and Sky Addons’ Loop Grid queries WooCommerce directly, with Hide Out of Stock and Hide Free Product switchers appearing alongside the usual query controls. Because the card is your own template, the product layout is not tied to your theme’s shop styling.

Can I put two paginated loop grids on one page?

You can place several Loop Grid widgets on a page, but pagination reads WordPress’s own paged query variable, so two paginated grids on the same URL advance together rather than independently. The practical answer is to paginate one grid and leave the others on a fixed Limit.

Will the loop grid show ACF fields?

Yes. Sky Addons registers dynamic tags for ACF text, image, gallery, URL and date-time fields, so a card template can bind a heading, image or link straight to a custom field and the Loop Grid fills it per post. Advanced Custom Fields needs to be installed for those tags to appear.

How is this different from a normal posts widget?

A posts widget hands you a fixed card with preset options; Sky Addons’ Loop Grid hands you no card at all until you supply one. Every element, class and effect in the template is yours, so one widget produces a magazine index, a product wall or a team directory without fighting a built-in layout.
