This tutorial provides the steps to create and show a Post Grid design for any category having a custom field assigned to each post.

The tutorial recommends the Advanced Custom fields plugin to output an URL field, but you can use any plugin to create the field and show the post with a custom field assigned.

Prerequisite:

1. Install and Activate Advanced Custom Fields Plugin.
