Hey senordeer,

The new one will crop by default if you specify a height and a width. For example: [cactusMasonry height=”100px” width=”300px”/]

I hope that helps. If not, please get back to me.

Cheers

Hi dogdogma,

No there is no setting for this presently, but I’m sure we can find a solution. Unfortunately, I have not been able to replicate this behaviour so far.

Can you post your shortcode and a URL to a page where this is happening?

Cheers

Hey there chtoma27587,

Option 1
This is not a built in feature, but it can be achieved with CSS flex.

The following CSS will allow you to change the order of the elements to match your requirements. It does rely on CSS flexbox though, so the very outdated ie9 browsers (and earlier) will not function correctly using this method.

div.cactus_masonry_databox {
    display: -webkit-box !important
    display: -ms-flexbox !important;
    display: -webkit-flex !important;
    display: flex !important;
    flex-direction: column;
}
div.cactus_masonry_databox > div {
    -webkit-box-flex: 0;
    width: 100%;
    -webkit-flex: 0 0 100%;
    -ms-flex: 0 0 100%;
    flex: 0 0 100%;
}
div.cactus_masonry_databox > .cm_categories {
    -webkit-box-ordinal-group: 1;
    -moz-box-ordinal-group: 1;
    -ms-flex-order: 1;
    -webkit-order: 1;
    order: 1;
}
div.cactus_masonry_databox > .cm_title {
    -webkit-box-ordinal-group: 2;
    -moz-box-ordinal-group: 2;
    -ms-flex-order: 2;
    -webkit-order: 2;
    order: 2;
}
div.cactus_masonry_databox > .cm_excerpt {
    -webkit-box-ordinal-group: 3;
    -moz-box-ordinal-group: 3;
    -ms-flex-order: 3;
    -webkit-order: 3;
    order: 3;
}

Option 2
Another option is to modify the plugin to display the results in the order you require. As there are unlikely to be any major updates coming out, you can easily modify the masonry-post-gallery.php file within the plugin’s directory. You’ll want to look towards line 497.

If you do this, also change the version number at the top of the file, and the version number at the top of the readme file, to something large. This way future updates won’t undo your changes.

I hope this helps,

Cheers

Hey there Ovidiu,

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I have updated the links.

Cheers

Hey there Ankit,

Thanks for sending me the shortcode. I’ve managed to isolate two related issues and that should fix the problem. I’m just finishing up some last minute testing and I will deploy an update shortly.

Thanks again for alerting me to the issue. If there are any further issues, please get back to me.

Cheers

Hey Ankit,

Well, that’s a tricky one as there are many different factors that could affect the order of your results.

In a perfect world, where every result is an identically sized image, your results should come out in the correct order. However, if you have images of different sizes in your gallery, things will re-arrange to better fit the space available.

If you are able – can you send through the shortcode you are using so I can test things?

Also, is the page is available, are you able to send me a link so I can see it in action? If not, can you send me a screenshot so I can see the types of images used (to forum at cactus dot cloud)?

Cheers

Hey there thomsy,

Ha, I don’t think your so bad :).

Thanks for alerting me too. It appears to still be working for me – however perhaps you’ve encountered a dreaded browser issue?

Can I ask what browser and operating system you are using?

Cheers

Hey there simplyshweta,

I think I’ve found the culprit. 0.0.5.1 has been released, and this should fix the problem.

Please tell me how you go,

Cheers

Hey there Miqser,

You can show a page thumbnail in the gallery if that is what you require. Set [cactus-masonry show_pages="true" link_location="post"] to achieve this. That would certainly be the easiest course of action. With these parameters you should see page thumbnails in your gallery and they will link back to their associated pages.

An alternative would be to edit where the page links using a plugin like “Page Links To”. But what would alter that functionality for the page – not just the gallery.

I hope this answers your question. Get back to me if you have any issues,

Cheers

Thanks again caitmcq,

I hope the new updates and features have allowed you to add even more to your website with Cactus Masonry Plus. Any issues, please get in touch!

Hey there wordjet,

This is terrible of me, but I’ve just found this forum. Thanks for your feedback. Always glad to help!

Hey kulcsart,

This plugin does aim to be the most customizable masonry plugin arund, so it’s only natural that there is a ton of adjustment available.

However, you can get a rather nice column based gallery simply by setting the brick width. But you are certainly not limited to just this, as there are a ton of other options available.

You were (and still are) more than welcome to contact our support if you were having an issue configuring the plugin. We’d even be happy to build your shortcode for you if you get stuck. And if there was a bug, we could have been able to fix it should you have contacted us.

If you want to give it another try, get in touch and we’ll get to the bottom of what ever issue you were encountering.

Hey there simplyshweta,

Do you have a page where I can see it fail? Also, you have paginate="false" in your shortcode. That’s turning it off.

I hope this has helped. If not, please get back to me.

Cheers

Hey there stlunited,

Is there some sort of image protection plugin running on your site? It appears that a plugin along those lines is altering the images and breaking the gallery’s javascript.

Try turning off your other plugins to eliminate them as the cause. If that fails, then try checking your theme for any options that may disable this behaviour.

An alternative would also be Cactus Masonry Plus – which may or may not suffer from the same conflict. This is essentially version 2 of the Cactus Masonry you are using.

Also check out the Cactus Masonry support forums at https://cactus.cloud/support.

Either way, please get back to me and tell me how you go.
