# How to Create Category Masonry Grid in Elementor?

## 

- Utilizes the Dynamic Categories widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor to create a masonry grid layout.
- Selects Masonry from the Layout section after adding the Dynamic Categories widget on a page.
- Allows display of tags or other taxonomies in a masonry grid layout by choosing the appropriate option.

Do you want to create a category masonry grid in Elementor? A masonry layout arranges category cards in a Pinterest-style grid where each card takes its natural height, making the display more visually dynamic than a fixed-height grid.

The Dynamic Categories widget in [The Plus Addons for Elementor](https://theplusaddons.com/) lets you display post categories, tags, or custom taxonomies in a masonry layout using multiple pre-designed styles. No custom code is required.

**Best Used For:**

- News and magazine sites displaying topic categories in a visually varied grid- WooCommerce stores organizing product categories with mixed-height thumbnail images- Portfolio and agency sites grouping case studies or service categories in a dynamic Elementor masonry grid

To do this, make sure you have created some post categories, then follow the steps.

1. Add the **Dynamic Categories** widget to a page. From the **Content Layout** tab, select a style that matches your design from the **Style** section. This is useful when you want a specific visual look for your category cards before setting the layout type.

2. From the **Layout** section, select **Masonry**. Use this option when you want category cards of different heights to stack naturally in a Pinterest-style grid rather than a rigid fixed-height row, which works well for categories with varying thumbnail sizes.

3. From the **Taxonomies** dropdown, select the **category** you want to display. If you need to display related blog content alongside your category grid, see [how to show recent blog posts in Elementor](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/show-recent-blog-posts-in-elementor/) for a complementary setup.

Your post categories will now display in a masonry layout in the Elementor editor. To further customize how your category cards appear, explore the **Style** tab in the Dynamic Categories widget settings.
