Masonry images often overlap until refresh

    I only started using the masonry gallery last week and I love the look. Unfortunately, I frequently notice a problem with masonry galleries loading up with the images partially or fully stacked on top of each other.

    The issue is always resolved by reloading the page. But I suspect my blog readers won’t know to do that, and the terrible images will cause them to leave the site? Sometimes the misloading even covers up text.

    I thought it might be a theme issue. But it’s happening with both my old blog (http://bangkokherps.wordpress.com, in the Rowling theme) as well as in my brand new blog (https://wildcolumbiacounty.wordpress.com/, in the Morden theme). It happens on laptop and mobile both. It happens on multiple browsers.

    When I first discovered the masonry option I thought it was new and would get resolved. Now I see that its much older than I thought, so I’m wondering why it’s still there? I see various wordpress.org blogs who have been having the same issue for years, and they insert code to fix it. But I can’t do that on a wordpress.com blog, so what do I do?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    Can you please provide a link to a specific post or page on your site where this issue is visible?

    And just to confirm, you’re speaking of the Coblocks Masonry block?

    That block comes from a plugin made by GoDaddy.com, and if you see the same issue on self-hosted WordPress sites it means the problem is with the plugin itself, rather than with our WordPress.com integration of the plugin. In that case it means this is something that will have to be fixed on their end.
