    Thanks for the idea. I tried that and it looks like what I want. However, the image won’t load on the masonry screen….only when you click on the actual post/blog. Also, I have my default post type set to “image” but the new posts get posted as “standard”. Even if I change the post type from the back end to “image” it still won’t show the image on the preview/masonry screen. I’ll keep trying! Thanks.

    Just saw your other thread re: 480px wide. How did you fix this? Again, any help to a WP noob would be appreciated!

    Figured out the issue re: 480px wide. Thanks so much for your help. One last thing I promise! Do you know how to change the word “Blog” in the plugin to say “My Work” or something else? Thanks again dude.

    @chapterr you’ll need to edit the /page-parts/post-content-masonry.php file and save it to your childs theme.

    The part you need to edit is the aq_resize call. They have it set to

    COPY CODE
    $image = aq_resize( $img_url, 480, 9999, null, true, true );

    I changed to

    COPY CODE
    $image = aq_resize( $img_url, 480, null, true, true, true );

    Keep in mind that the hassle that comes with modifying core files. After upgrades you’ll have to see if they added/changed any code to those files. If they have, you’ll have to include their changes into your child page. Not a huge deal, but not for the person who wants hassle free updating.

    No problem. As far as buddy blog goes, I didnt play with it too much and have decided not to use it for now. I’ve decided that I’m only going to allow a select few members make blog posts. The developer is a cool dude. Check out his support forum.

    Its a private site. Though, if they put woo commerce support in this theme, I’ll be adding it to my public site (which isnt launched yet). Either way, I dont have a link for you 🙂 Hey, because I’m lazy, can you tell me if you can narrow down who has access to publish using social articles?
