Display options	Determine how the content should be displayed using the following fields
Number of columns	Select how many columns should be displayed per row (1-4 columns).
Pagination	Show or hide pagination.
Column colour	Select the background colour for each column.
Column padding	Move text away from the edge of each column (useful when a background colour is set).
Border radius	Set a corner radius for each column.
Posts per page	Select the number of posts to display before pagination is shown. Type -1 to always show all posts without paging.
Orderby	Select the order of the posts e.g. by date, by alphabetical title etc.
Sort order	Set the Orderby to be either ascending or descending.
Show titles	Show the titles for posts/pages for each column.

Show link	Show an additional "read more" link at the end of each column.
Show overlay on hover	Show the grid using each posts featured image with the post excerpt appearing on hover. Note: this will only work for 2 columns, when showing titles and excerpts.

Content options	Tick to enable access to a variety of content options as below.
Intro text	Content to appear above (or below) the primary content block.
Primary font colour	Adjust the font colour on the front end. This option is useful for instance if you wanted white text as you wouldn't be able to see the text within the backend interface if you changed the font colour using the normal text colour button. Note: you can still change individual words using the normal font colour button in the toolbar if you so desire.
Content inset	Adjust the content so it occupies less horizontal width. Useful to reduce long lines of text to make them more readable.
Position	Select where to put the intro text - either above or below the primary content.
