Hi, Daniel!
Thanks for the feedback!
Yes, it’s possible, but I haven’t yet realized it in Shortcode Builder. You can add the option exclude_posts manually in the shortcode, for example: exclude_posts=”41″, where 41 is ID of excluded post. Multiple posts must be separated by comma.
I’m going to add this feature in one of the following versions of the plugin.

I see you’re using Jetpack with Infinite Scroll – may be a problem with this plugin, I’ll check compatibility.

Can you give me a link to this page?
I create the demo page, look here please: https://demo.lp-tricks.com/recent-posts/layouts-without-featured-image/

OK, I see that Masonry and jQuery is working correctly. I think the problem caused by some CSS or JS, may be problems with Bootstrap, but I’m not sure. Try to switch off other CSS one by one.
Do you use public or custom WP theme? Can you give me a link to theme download, I try to check compatibility this theme and my plugin.

I’m not sure but I think what this problem may caused when standard WordPress jQuery instance is replaced by CDN instance, in your example it’s look that:
I’m not sure, but I think that this problem can be caused when the standard WordPress jQuery instance is replaced by the CDN-loaded instance, in your case it looks like this: <script type='text/javascript' src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js'></script>
Do you insert this code in your header.php manually or it’s inserted by another plugin?

Look at source code of your home page. In head section you can see this code:

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    var $container = $('#grid-container');

    // initialize
    $container.masonry({
        gutter: 10,
        itemSelector: '.lptw-grid-element'
    });
});
</script>

It’s incorrect, this code loaded at the end of page in file lptw-recent-posts.js and the file load after Masonry initialization. Try to remove this code from head section, I think it’s a solution of your problem.

There are two ways to display recent posts with my plugin on website front page without comments section:

1. You need to create a page in admin menu, insert shortcode as page content, publish the page. Then open Dashboard -> Settings -> Reading and set this page as front page in “Front page displays”. Then open list of all pages, find this page and click by Quick Edit. Here you find checkbox Allow Comments – just uncheck this and update.
2. You need to create file front-page.php in your theme folder, insert header, footer and sidebar if you need it – but not insert comments template here. In the content section just add `<?php echo do_shortcode( [shortcode] ) ?>’

Perhaps another plugin includes Masonry and they conflict with each other. I’ll add the ability to disable Masonry in the plugin settings in the next release to avoid such conflicts.

Hello!
Thanks for the feedback!

Do not quite understand what you mean, give me a link to your website where I can see the problem.

Hello!
Thanks for the feedback!

As I see it, the problem with loading the script Masonry. My plugin uses Masonry, included in the WordPress. On your website is installed Rocket Loader – “a general-purpose asynchronous JavaScript loader coupled with a lightweight virtual browser which can safely run any JavaScript code after window.onload”.

Most likely, Rocket Loader is causing the problem, turn it off – and the plugin will work correctly.

Hello!
I’m update the plugin, now if the Post have no Featured Image, the block with Thumbnail displayed as Drop Cap Layout with the first letter of the Post title. Background and text color you can choose in the Shortcode Builder. In widget this feature will be available soon.

OK, I’ll fix it. Stay tuned!

Hello!
Thank you for review. Did you saying about widget or shortcode?

Hello!
In the last version of the plugin (0.6.4) i added new color scheme -without any overlay. Small grid with basic thumbnail width 150px is in my plans -stay tuned!

Thank you for your review!
