Behind the scenes, it uses sophisticated coding. In terms of putting it on your website, it works with shortcodes that are simple to set and give you the ability to fine-tune the way filtering and pagination work. You can’t change the layout without CSS, but the designer has chosen well. The plugin provides a 3-column desktop layout that is very clean and elegant, as well as responsive. The developer has a particularly good sense for how to design the layout, compared to other plugins I have worked with. By forcing images into the same size format and placing them at the top of each post above the title, the posts all line up well. In addition, I have found the developer to be responsive as well. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8523f315e17064805500570243b2e97a687427a5cd49b3ecede7b84a2cc906af? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Can’t use custom template for posts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-use-custom-template-for-posts/)󠁿 [tuomio](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tuomio/) June 3, 2022 1 reply Taxonomy filters are implemented as li elements, and everything is missing aria- labels.
