<div dir="ltr">I dunno, actually. It is an interesting question. How galleries display is part of the visual style of the theme. I don't see anything wrong with including masonry-enabled galleries in the theme, especially as some kind of optional thing.<div><br></div><div>Now, I would suggest to the theme author not to override the gallery shortcode itself, but to use the post_gallery filter instead, which will let them do essentially the same thing without tinkering with "shortcodes".<div><br></div><div>That said, you would want to make sure that the controls for galleries in WordPress still operate as you would expect them to, more or less. Obviously, something like masonry is probably going to change the meaning of "columns" and the like, but still, that should be mostly functional, to whatever extent makes sense.</div></div><div><br></div><div>But then again, anything you do here in a theme could be done in a plugin too, and said plugin could be made universal for any theme, so unless this particular gallery shortcode is deeply tied to the theme in some way, then it's probably better in a plugin.</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div>-Otto</div>
