Boost Media Grid with your own overlays!

Overlay Manager does just what its name suggests: lets you create and manage unlimited overlays! Many elements to mix, unlimited colors, hundreds of different possible combinations.

Full size layers, split ones, icons, shapes, corner layers, outlined boxes, crossing layers, single-side borders, angular slices, buttons, textual blocks, image effects.

Everything has been created to set your creativity free to create what you like most: from hover behaviors, to CSS3 animations, from 3D effects to easings and animations delay!

Once you install the add-on, fifteen preset overlays will be ready to be used or customized.

Check your changes or what you are building without losing time with a live preview. Finally choose which overlay to use directly in the Media grid shortcode wizard: you can use a different overlay for each grid!

Add-on shortcodes and placeholders

Add-on also brings three new shortcodes, expressly made to be used in item excerpts or in the custom content layer:

  1. Item attributes: with or without attribute layer or icon!
  2. Contents toggle: based on item ‘s type. So you can setup targeted textual contents for grid items!
  3. Filter sections data: (requires Advanced Filteres add-on) to print specific item’s data related to filter sections!

Plus, you can also use various textual placeholders to show items author, date or also the WooCommerce price!

How are you creative?

Think about mixing elements, adding colors, hover effects and maybe a bit of custom css. The Overlay Manager framework is ready to satisfy your needs!

And you, what amazing overlay will you create for your website? Check out examples!
