    There is a bug. In the free edition, grid items have a discrepancy in how they navigate to their post. The image and “read more” anchors link to _self. The item title (headline?) anchor links to _blank, which launches in a new tab or browser window. IOW, 3 links to the post but 2 operate one way and the 3rd operates differently.

    Thanks for your detailed info.
    Please follow my instruction step by step, and don’t skip –

    Go to the Edit mode of your post grid.

    Under Layouts, identify what layout you’re using and go to the Edit mode.

    From the Layout Editor, click over the Post Title element to get advanced settings and change the Link target value to _self. Don’t forget to update the layout.

    I’m sure that works wonderfully on the pro edition. However, the free edition doesn’t have access to the advanced settings.

    When you click over the text, isn’t it expanding? Please try to click over the text.

    Yes, clicking worked and I was able to change the target. IMHO, all 3 targets should be set to the same initial value by plugin code instead of 2 _self and 1 _blank. Thanks for your help.

    Resolved the immediate issue.

    Glad to know the issue is resolved. I understand we’ve to make the entire area clickable so that users can easily know it’s expandable.
