Sorry for my confusion here… If I want to be able to achieve this: http://prntscr.com/hw1puc
In EE4 – Do I NOT need the Custom Template plugin? I hope so because apparently the Custom Template plugin doesn’t work with EE4.
Thanks EE Team!

Hi Shelly,
You need the EE4 Grid view add-on only to achieve what’s in the screenshot. The Custom Template add-on worked with EE3 only.

The reason we’re confused, is that the shortcode is not working:

Thanks

Hi Shelly,
You’ll actually need to use this shortcode:
[ESPRESSO_GRID_TEMPLATE]
the shortcode you tried was used for EE3.

Could this be an issue with Visual Composer or something? If we have the plugin installed, shouldn’t the shortcode work automatically?
Thanks Josh!

Not an issue with Visual Composer, the issue is you’re using the wrong shortcode.
The correct shortcode is
[ESPRESSO_GRID_TEMPLATE]
The shortcode you currently have on the page in question is
[EVENT_CUSTOM_VIEW template_name=grid]
and that shortcode will not parse on sites that have EE4.

Ok – so we got it working but it really doesn’t look like your sample:
http://de1.32b.mwp.accessdomain.com/writing/
Is this just a matter of styling it – or is this css conflicts with the theme? How much work should it be to get it to look like your sample. We’re happy to do the work if need be…
Thanks Josh!

Usually that’s the result of putting the shortcode somewhere outside the main content section of the page editor, often due to using a page builder plugin. When it’s added outside the main content section of the page, the grid add-on will have no way of knowing that the shortcode is on that page.
You can make it so the grid CSS loads everywhere on every page of the website by adding this code to a functions.php file or functions plugin:
