The thumbnail list is a flexible content component that displays a series of items with a thumbnail image and supporting text. It’s ideal for showcasing articles, updates, resources, or any repeatable content in a clean, scannable list format.
Each item in a thumbnail list is powered by an individual post, making it easy to manage, update, and scale content directly within WordPress. Simply create or edit posts, and the thumbnail list will dynamically reflect your content when assigned to the correct category.

Optional display (non-linked thumbnail list)
A non-linked version of the thumbnail list is available for cases where you want to present content without linking to individual posts. In this variation, thumbnails and titles are static, making it useful for simple lists, highlights, or visual groupings where additional detail pages aren’t needed.
