Loop grid

Hi there,

To address your query, I recommend utilizing the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) third-party plugin to achieve the desired customization for your posts or products in the loop grid item template. By incorporating custom fields such as “background- color” for each post or product, you can establish unique attributes tailored to your specific needs.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to implementing this solution:

1. Install and Activate ACF Plugin: Begin by installing the ACF plugin on your WordPress website if you haven’t already done so. You can find the plugin in the WordPress Plugin Directory.
2. Configure Custom Fields: Once the ACF plugin is activated, navigate to the ACF settings within your WordPress dashboard. Create a new custom field group for your posts or products, and include a custom field named “color” where you can define the desired color for each item.
3. Assign Colors: With the custom field group set up, you can now assign colors to individual posts or products by editing each item and entering the respective color value in the designated field.
4. Dynamic Background Color: To dynamically add the background color to your loop grid template container, you’ll need to modify your theme’s template files. Utilize PHP to retrieve the color value from the custom field associated with each post or product, and apply it as the background color for the corresponding grid container.

For visual reference, you can view a screenshot illustrating this process here: Screenshot.

Best regards,

You could do this with some simple css that would target every “even” or “odd” item and then apply the background color. If you share your grid page, I can send over some css you could try.

It would be something like this:

div.grid-item:nth-child(even) {
     background: #CCC
 }
