To do this, make sure you have created at least one custom post type, you can use the free[ Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/) to[ create a custom post type](https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/registering-a-custom-post-type/).

For instance, we have created a custom post type called Books.

Once you’ve created your custom post type, follow the steps -  

1. Add the Dynamic Listing widget to the page. 

2. After selecting the appropriate listing type from the **Post Listing Types** dropdown (except ACF Repeater and Custom Query) select your custom post type from the **Post Type** dropdown.

3. Then after selecting the appropriate style, select **Grid** from the **Layout** section.

You can fine-tune the layout with other settings and style options.
