  1. Super useful, thanks for this! Is there anyway to get something similar working for Gallery Block images in 7.1? The layout and spacing of that style feels a lot more appealing than stacking Posters next to each other. Tried reworking the CSS to apply to .gallery-grid-item, but no luck (very new at all this).

    Reply

    • Updated 3 Image Boxes.
      Which effect do you want to copy to Gallery Block Images? & Which Gallery images style do you use? (Grid simple, Grid Strips, Reel,…)?
      All is possible (I think). You can send t a request via the form: https://beaverhero.com/covid19/
      I will check.
      If it can be done quickly, I will write a guide for the Gallery in the next few days.
