What is a bento grid in WordPress?+
A bento grid is a layout of tiles of different sizes arranged like a bento box, popular for feature sections, portfolios and landing pages. BoldSpan Bento Grid lets you build one in WordPress without writing CSS.
What is the best bento grid plugin for WordPress?+
BoldSpan Bento Grid is a free WordPress bento grid plugin with 9 free layout presets, Gutenberg and Elementor support, and optional Pro features: 26 layouts, up to 12 tiles, glass tiles, hover effects and scroll reveals.
Is there a free bento grid plugin for WordPress?+
Yes. The core BoldSpan Bento Grid plugin is free on WordPress.org and includes 2 to 5 tile grids, 9 layout presets, 9 block patterns, colours, gradients, borders and overlays.
How do I create a bento grid in Gutenberg or Elementor?+
Install and activate BoldSpan Bento Grid, add the Bento Grid block or Elementor widget, choose a tile count and layout preset, fill each tile with an image and text, then publish.
Do I need the free plugin to use Pro?+
Yes. Pro is an add-on and needs the free plugin installed and active.
Does it work with Elementor?+
Yes. Gutenberg and Elementor are both supported in Free and Pro, with the same layouts and output.
What happens if my Pro licence expires or I remove Pro?+
Nothing breaks. Published grids keep their saved content and markup. Elementor grids fall back to the Free layout with the same tile count, Pro-only controls lock again, and Free layouts and effects keep working.
What is the difference between monthly, annual and lifetime?+
Monthly and annual are subscriptions: you get Pro features, updates and priority support while the plan is active. Annual costs less per month. Lifetime is a single payment: you pay once and it is yours for life, with no renewals. All three unlock the same Pro features.
Can I change my plan?+
Personal is available with monthly, yearly or lifetime billing. Contact bentogrid@boldspan.tech for help changing an existing purchase. Business and Agency plans are coming soon.
Do staging, dev and local sites count toward my licence limit?+
Yes. Every active site counts toward your licence limit, including local, development, staging and production sites. Deactivate a site to free its slot before using the key on another site.
Who can help with a payment question?+
Email bentogrid@boldspan.tech from the address you used at checkout and include your payment reference so we can find your order.
Will it slow my site down?+
The Free output is static, cache-friendly markup with no jQuery. The stylesheet only loads on pages that render a grid.
