Hi Guys.
My client likes the look of the Masonry layout on the blog post examples, only problem is we will not be having any blog posts on the site, as it is a small business and will be completed of pages only.
My question is, can we make the masonry layout display certain pages?
Would there be another way to do this?
Thanks
Hey checkitwriteit!
I don’t think so since the pages don’t have a taxonomy to select from. If you use this plugin however you might be able to get that working since it would give your pages the same taxonomy that posts have so you could select the masonry elements by the category of your pages at that point: http://wpthemetutorial.com/plugins/post-tags-and-categories-for-pages/
Best regards,
DevinThere is a way to be done without a plugin. You set a page as the parent page (let’s say examples), set up all the pages that you want to display on the parent page as child pages of that parent page (example 1, example2, example3, etc.) and then create a template page only for the parent page (examples) where you can apply the masonry elements.
The template page that is applied ONLY to the parent page should be almost similar to an archive page and should include a script to call the masonry elements. Not easy, but doable. :)
Thanks for the reply guys, appreciated.
I’m going to be working on this again on Sunday so I will have a trial and let you know how I get on.

Devin,
Thanks a lot, this was the first method I tried and it works perfectly, I’ve been setting up WordPress sites for ages now, but it never ceases to amaze me the amount of plugins out there which you never think you need until you do, and some smart folks have already created the tools you need to get the job done.

is the url where I’ve set up a page, and have other pages in their own category using that plugin, I can then select that category to display the pages in the masonry format.
Amazing, thanks so much for the quick support. I’ll make sure to give you guys 5 stars on Themeforest now.
The only thing I am actually having trouble with is the size of the thumbnails.
If you go here : http://kriesi.at/themes/enfold/blog/masonry-blog/
The image sizes are perfect.
But on my page I get just two images per row.
I have tried each one of the display formats, and I have even tried using a couple of your images to see if it was my place holder images causing the problem.I have also tried the landscape and portrait tags but that didnt work either.
Any ideas?

Solved – I was putting the masonry within a 1 column layout element as a container, if i remove the container and just dump the masonry element it works perfectly.
Sorry, hope this helps some one else though!
