AnWP Post Grid and Post Carousel Slider for Elementor Premium is an add-on to AnWP Post Grid. It adds eight widgets and five capabilities, while the base add-on’s eight widgets remain available. Both AnWP Post Grid and Elementor must be installed and active. Premium widgets use the same post selection options as the base widgets, including Posts to Show, categories, tags, authors, and related posts, and follow Elementor breakpoints.

Grid layouts change how post collections appear

Hex Grid arranges posts as interlocking tiles, with responsive columns, load more, pagination, and a header category filter. Simple Ratio Grid keeps cards to a selected image aspect ratio and works with load more and pagination. Scale Grid enlarges the post under the pointer and shows its excerpt while the other posts stay grayscale. Parallax Grid adds 3D tilt cards that follow the pointer, with a moving highlight and shadow.

Slider layouts present posts in motion

News Ticker runs a continuous marquee or moves one post at a time horizontally or vertically. Card Slider displays cards with hover effects and autoplay. Hero Slider uses a full-width layout with a Ken Burns effect and post navigation. Mosaic Slider combines tall cards with stacked pairs in three styles.

Filters and pagination guide users through posts

Header Category Filter adds tabs above supported grids so visitors can switch categories without a page reload. It works with Simple Grid, Light Grid, Classic Grid, Classic Blog, Hex Grid, and Simple Ratio Grid. When tabs do not fit, they fold into a “more” menu.

Advanced Pagination adds numbered pages, previous and next buttons, ellipses, and custom labels to the four base grid widgets and Hex Grid. Custom Taxonomy lets any of the 16 widgets filter by terms from a custom taxonomy and display those terms in place of the category label. Taxonomy Redirects send a category or tag archive to a chosen page with a 301 redirect. Widget Blocks let you styling a block with Elementor and place it in a sidebar or footer widget area.

Activating the plugins makes Premium widgets available

Install and activate Elementor and AnWP Post Grid, then install and activate Premium alongside the base add-on. When editing a page with Elementor, search for “anwp” in the widget panel and add a widget. Keep AnWP Post Grid and Premium updated together; wp-admin displays a notice if either is too old for the other.
