About Advance Post Grid/List with custom filtering for Visual Composer 3.8
Advance Post Grid/List with custom filtering is an add-on for Visual Composer, the page builder now sold as WPBakery Page Builder. By its name it adds an element that shows posts as a grid or a list and lets visitors filter them. The store files it under Content and Customize. The listing itself says nothing more.
The file on record is version 3.8, released in March 2018. It needs Visual Composer or WPBakery installed and active, so it is no use on a site built with Elementor or the block editor. Test it on staging against your current builder version, and read the documentation in the package for the available options.
Requirements
- Visual Composer (WPBakery Page Builder)
Key features
- Post grid layout
- Shows posts in a grid, per the product name.
- Post list layout
- Also offers a list view of posts.
- Custom filtering
- Lets visitors filter the posts shown; the filter types are in the documentation.
- Visual Composer element
- Added as an element in the Visual Composer editor, so no theme edits are needed.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- Sites built with Visual Composer or WPBakery that need a filterable post listing
- Blogs or portfolios that want visitors to narrow posts by category or tag
Look elsewhere if
- Sites built with Elementor, Gutenberg or another builder
- Large archives that need fast search, where a dedicated filtering plugin may fit better

Common problems and fixes
The grid element does not appear in the editor
- Why it happens
- The page builder is missing, inactive, or too new or old for this 2018 add-on.
- How to fix it
- Confirm Visual Composer or WPBakery is active, then test on staging. Check the package documentation for supported versions.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
- Why it happens
- The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
- How to fix it
- Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.
“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”
- Why it happens
- The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
- How to fix it
- Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
- Why it happens
- Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
- How to fix it
- Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.
Licence or “updates unavailable” notices
- Why it happens
- The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
- How to fix it
- Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
