Setup Question

    Hi,
    I installed and activated the plugin. I am trying to get it to work on my existing posts page which is currently set to display on my front (home) page. I’ve set the plugin to work as post type only. What else do I need to do? Is it possible to have it work without regenerating any images? All my post images are unedited from the original upload. Also, I haven’t installed Page Builder. Is it necessary?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    So, I figured out how to set up the masonry widget without page builder just incase anyone is curious or wants to achieve the same thing.

    Step 1.
    Register a new widget area in the theme functions.php file…

    register_sidebar(array(
	'name'=> 'My Custom Widget Area',
	'id' => 'custom'
));

    Step 2.
    Add some code to the theme’s index.php file… I replaced all the code inside of div id=”content” area but I’m sure there are better ways to do it.

    <?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'custom' ) ) : ?>
	<div class="widget-area">
		<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'custom' ); ?>
	</div>
<?php endif; ?>

    Step 3.
    Drag the masonry widget to the new custom widget area that should now be showing up in Appearance > Widgets. Tweak the settings and done.

    Also, note that you may need to regenerate post images. For more information about the plugin installation and settings, visit… https://siteorigin.com/masonry-plugin-documentation/
