Thanks. It works. I cann't believe I ignored this flag previously.

@julian I set the default language to zh-CN in my site. However, it still shows the home page to English. I understand it set its language based on browser preference language. You can see my site at c.mainnote.com which "register" and "login" were showing "English". I wonder if there is a flag to configure the whole site into default language.

@baris Thanks. I applied a dirty fix below:

//page load or reload to doMasonry
if($('.masonry').length) {
        doMasonry();
}

The github fork is here:
https://github.com/georgezhang/nodebb-theme-lavender/blob/master/static/lib/lavender.js

@baris said in The masonry.js not loaded if page refreshes directly:

doMasonry

Thanks for your update. Is it in nodebb core or in plugin nodebb-theme-lavender? I may have to fix it a.s.a.p. to solve our production problem as categary become our home page.

Issue Description:
I use theme Lavender to have masonry effect for my Categories page. When I clicked on the navigation button to this page, the masonry effect shows correctly. However, if I refreshed the page by F5 or access directly http://localhost:4567/categories , the masonry effect wasn't applied as below.

Questions:
I want to figure out if this is problem on the plugin nodebb-theme-lavender or nodebb won't load the plugin scripts (directly load or F5) by design.

Could some one give me some idea about this?
