Packery Collection

Usage

Packery Collection queries published works and lays the featured images into a masonry (packed) grid. Hover a tile to see the work title on a tinted overlay. Each tile links to that work’s page.

Leave Collections blank for every work, or pick collections to limit the wall.

When to use it

Use this when the images are the story — photography, architecture, product shots — and you want mixed heights instead of a uniform card grid. Use Collection with Overlay or Cards when you also need excerpts and a written CTA on every item.

Items without a featured image are skipped.

Content

  • Collections — which Collections to include. Leave blank for every published work that has a featured image.
  • Links — each tile opens the work page. Link to Image is in the sidebar but does not change that destination today.

Appearance

  • Order By / Order — Default menu order, or sort by date, title, or last modified

Tips

  • Give every work a strong featured image. Empty tiles are omitted.
  • On large screens the wall uses up to five columns; it collapses on smaller viewports.
  • Sort with Order By when menu order is not the sequence you want.
