I am using Customizr Pro, purchased last week, so presumably have the newest version. I am unable to find Grid Customizer. When I try to go to * Appearance > Customize > Content > Post lists * , as you note above, I don’t find such a a navigation path.
I do have * Appearance > Customize > Front Page Content* and * Appearance > Customize > Main Content * but when I click those and then click either of the items that say posts (i.e. * Pages & Posts layout* , * Single posts *) I do not find Grid Customizer.
I am enjoying Customizr, getting far down the road on my first WordPress website, have been modifying CSS etc, etc, but man I am loving the look of Grid Customizr but striking out. Hopefully I am just doing something stupid!
Is it possible to enable grid layout only for some categories, e.g. adding some conditions in a custom function.
Something like
Does the theme allow me to display the grid on any page or post? Or is this for the front page only? If this is not an option on the theme is it an option on the pro theme that inlcudes the grid customizer?
Hi Guy, there’s no such option yet.
This, along with other options making the theme more versatile and flexible, is currently under deveopment and should be added to the pro theme in the coming weeks.
Cheers

Hello Nicolas,
We are trying to use the Customizr theme, to make a responsive mobile theme for our site PrutsFM.nl It looks really nice. We are using the Grid Layout. But, there is always a but, is there a way to remove all of the post text? We do’t want it to when you hoover over, just the clean grey hover over color and nothing more.
Can you help me with this?
(We don’t have the pro version yet)
Hi Mark,
Cool website !
There’s no specific option in the Customizer to do so. But there are several ways to do it.
1) CSS just add the display:none rule to the relevant element
2) PHP add a WordPress filter to the excerpt to render nothing in grid context.
Hope this helps 🙂
(You’ll want to open a new thread in the Customizr support forum about this if you don’t know how to implement those solutions).
