Hi all

I was wondering :)
- if I would like to display 2 blogrolls sorted by post categories (eg. Reviews and Portfolio), display 5 or so posts of each and show them side by side or on top of another in a masonry style is that possible?

Hmm, so display two sets of posts in masonry on the same page but separated by category?

Honestly I'm not sure if that's do-able unless you were to use some sort of display posts shortcode plugin and then applied masonry to it.

I have plans for a shortcode plugin like that, just haven't had time to get it going yet.

Hi Tom

Yes pretty much that was what I was thinking ? is it do-able without masonry enabled as is?

A plugin like this may work: https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/

It allows you to display posts from certain categories etc.. using a shortcode, so you can split them up on your pages.

Thanks Tom really appreciate your support!
I tried what you said but it remains very basic if you're not a css wizzard which I am not.
Is there any way to inherit whatever style the posts on the blog currently have without writing lines and lines of css?

I'm afraid not without lines of code.

I do plan on releasing my display posts shortcode plugin which would look very similar to the style we use on GP - it's about half built but development has stalled recently due to work load.
