This plugin will output a list of your chosen categories and filter the posts on the fly using jQuery animation.
The setting pages allows you to select which categories should appear, whether or not to include jQuery (if you don’t already have it in the ) and a place to define the posts container. This should be either the class or id of the div that contains all the posts for filtering.
I am open to suggestions to improve the plugin !

Flexi Post Grid is a powerful Elementor Post Grid plugin that helps you display posts, pages, and custom post types in clean and flexible layouts.
Instead of designing complex layouts manually, you can start with ready-made grid styles and customize everything directly inside Elementor. Control spacing, typography, images, overlays, and element visibility without writing code.
Flexi Post Grid also provides flexible query options so you can decide exactly which posts appear in the grid. Filter by categories, include or exclude specific posts, adjust sorting, or skip posts using the offset option.
The plugin supports multiple pagination types including Classic Pagination, Load More Button (AJAX), and Infinite Scroll (AJAX) for smooth browsing.
You can also convert any grid layout into a Post Grid Slider / Carousel directly from the widget settings.
Flexi Post Grid is perfect for blogs, news websites, portfolios, events, WooCommerce stores, and any site that needs organized content grids.
