 * There is a bug. In the free edition, grid items have a discrepancy in how they
   navigate to their post. The image and “read more” anchors link to _self. The 
   item title (headline?) anchor links to _blank, which launches in a new tab or
   browser window. IOW, 3 links to the post but 2 operate one way and the 3rd operates
   differently.

 * Thanks for your detailed info.
   Please follow my instruction step by step, and
   don’t skip –
 * Go to the **Edit **mode of your post grid.

 * From the Layout Editor, click over the **Post Title** element to get advanced
   settings and change the **Link target** value to **_self.** Don’t forget to update
   the layout.

 * I’m sure that works wonderfully on the pro edition. However, the free edition
   doesn’t have access to the advanced settings.

 * When you click over the text, isn’t it expanding? Please try to click over the
   text.

 * Yes, clicking worked and I was able to change the target. IMHO, all 3 targets
   should be set to the same initial value by plugin code instead of 2 _self and
   1 _blank. Thanks for your help.

 * Glad to know the issue is resolved. I understand we’ve to make the entire area
   clickable so that users can easily know it’s expandable.
 * Would you mind writing a review for our plugin? It’ll inspire us a lot.
