Hello Kim,
Thanks for using our plugins and considering an upgrade!
Events Calendar PRO doesn’t provide a grid view like you described, however it does come with a photo view that is pretty similar and has 3 columns. The number of columns cannot be changed with a setting, but it might be possible with some coding / customization.
Here is our demo page to show you how the photo view looks like: https://wpshindig.com/events/photo/
You can also create template overrides, basically create a layout that you want and use that instead of the build in ones. You could exchange the list view to the 4×2 view you described. This requires some knowledge in HTML and PHP.
You can find more information on template overrides in our Themer’s Guide – https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/
And for template overrides you do not need Events Calendar Pro.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Cheers,
Andras
