## Description

KM Resource Grid provides a lightweight way to publish free eBooks, PDFs, guides,
templates, checklists, and other downloadable resources.

Each resource includes:

 * A title
 * A short description
 * A resource image
 * A direct downloadable file URL

The plugin creates a Free Resources page on activation. Administrators can assign
a different existing page or change the page link under KM Resources > Settings.

Design controls include:

 * WordPress image source size
 * Displayed image width, height, fit, and background
 * Independent desktop, tablet, and mobile grid columns plus card spacing
 * Card background, border, radius, padding, and shadow
 * Theme-default typography with optional local system font overrides
 * Optional resource heading size, weight, style, and color overrides
 * Optional excerpt size, weight, style, color, and line-height overrides
 * Theme-default button styling with optional label, font, color, hover, radius,
   padding, and width overrides

Resource records do not create public individual post pages. This prevents thin 
duplicate pages while keeping the main resource library crawlable. The frontend 
includes semantic HTML, responsive WordPress images, accessible controls, and ItemList,
CreativeWork, and MediaObject structured data.

No external services, tracking scripts, external fonts, or third-party libraries
are used.

## FAQ

### Can I assign the resource library to an existing page?

Yes. Open KM Resources > Settings and choose any page. Saving the settings adds 
the plugin shortcode to that page if it is not already present. Existing page content
is preserved.

### Can I change the Free Resources page link?

Yes. Change the Page link field under KM Resources > Settings. WordPress will use
a safe URL slug and automatically avoid duplicate links.

### Can I change the image dimensions and styling?

Yes. You can choose the WordPress source image size, displayed width and height,
contain or cover behavior, background color, and all main card, typography, and 
button styles.

### Can I choose different columns for desktop, tablet, and mobile?

Yes. Desktop supports one to four columns, tablet supports one to three columns 
at 900px and below, and mobile supports one or two columns at 600px and below.

### Why are some typography fields blank?

Blank typography and button-style fields intentionally use the active theme. Enter
or select a custom value and save to apply a plugin-scoped high-priority override.

### Can I use an external download link?

Yes. Paste a full HTTP or HTTPS URL. For the most reliable direct download, select
a file uploaded to the same WordPress website. External servers can instruct browsers
to open files instead.

### Does the plugin collect visitor information or track downloads?

No. The plugin does not collect personal data, track downloads, load external fonts,
or contact third-party services.

### Does deactivation delete my resources?

No. Deactivating or deleting the plugin does not automatically remove resources,
media files, or the assigned page.

### Is the resource page SEO friendly?

The output uses semantic article and heading markup, responsive images, fallback
alt text, accessible download links, and structured data. Individual resource records
remain private to avoid thin duplicate pages. The plugin does not promise or guarantee
search rankings.
