Hi there,
i use your build in masonry styled posts listing on archive pages.
Now i want to add a static homepage with some costum elements, and after these i want the newests posts to be listed in your masonry style.
is there a shortcode to the post list masonry, or something else?
How can i achieve my layout?
thx a lot
Hi there,
no theres no shortcode or simple method of adding the themes masonry blog to a static page.
The alternative method would be use the Block Element to add your custom content to the archive/blog page:

thanks a lot.
i use block element now and hook it in generate_inside_container.
a shortcode or block to the masonry post listing would be a nice feature :-)
one other question, can i wrap a Block Element inside custom html, or with a div an a class ?
IF you want to add a post list to a static page then you can use the WP Show Posts plugin - but it will be a static page.....
Block Elements are simply Hooks that have the Block editor enabled. They only output what you add inside them. So you can either use a Group Block or a GenerateBlocks Container Block to the Block Element to wrap the content.... each block can be given an Additional CSS Class in the Advanced panel.
