Description

The WP Blog and Widget – Masonry Layout organizes WordPress posts in a Pinterest-style grid, with columns of varying heights that reposition automatically according to the size of each thumbnail and title. The plugin adds a shortcode and a Recent Posts widget that renders articles in a responsive masonry format, allowing you to select the number of columns, display category, author, date, excerpt, and a read-more button based on the content area where the block is inserted.
