For instance, we have created a custom post type called Books.

Once you’ve created your custom post type, follow the steps -  

1. Add the Dynamic Listing widget to the page. 

2. After selecting the appropriate listing type from the **Post Listing Types** dropdown (except ACF Repeater and Custom Query) select your custom post type from the **Post Type** dropdown.

3. Then after selecting the appropriate style, select **Masonry** from the **Layout** section.
