    I would like to use the Perfect Grid feature in the Masonry Content Element. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working. I’d like the image, title, and excerpt to show and not cut anything off. I’d like the next row of blog postings to appear with their images top aligned.

    Another way of describing it is: I’d like the grid to look like what Blog Posts does, but with a Category sorting sub-nav above it (the way Masonry does).

    Help please! Thanks.

    Hi ferriscreative!

    Hmm, not sure if that is going to be feasible or not. Your trying to make it look like the Masonry Blog? http://kriesi.at/themes/enfold/blog/masonry-blog/

    Can you take a screenshot and highlight the changes your trying to do?

    Regards,

    I’m not exactly trying to make it look like the Masonry Blog you’ve linked to, although that’s really nice. Don’t know how to accomplish that either.

    I’m trying to make each row of images top-align, no matter how much text is underneath each. Your standard Blog Posts feature creates a look like this, but without the sorting option. I need the sorting option.

    Hope this makes sense. Thanks!

    Do you have instructions/recommendations on how to create that Masonry Blog? Three columns with three different picture sizes (1 row by 1 column; 2 rows by 1 column; 1 row by 2 columns). Thanks!

    Hey!

    To recreate that page you would just add the Masonry element to your page content and then add a “landscape” or “portrait” tag to your posts if you want them to span an extra column or row.

    I checked your link again and it looks like that is what your currently doing.

    Cheers!

    Ideally, I’d like to have the title and excerpt underneath the image, rather than on top of it, just the images at the top of the page have. But keep the masonry effect with landscape and portrait-oriented images. Is that possible?

    Hi!

    Unfortunately, that is not possible because it will break the isotope script which calculates the position of the columns, which means breaking the masonry grid.

    Thanks for the information. I wonder if there’s another way to pull off the effect I’m going for… Thoughts? Anyone?

    Hey!

    Have you tried the blog posts element? Set the blog style to grid. Or the Portfolio Grid element but you will have to use the portfolio items.

    Cheers!
