I got this work but I did have to add the BlogConfig instance. Something like "config = BlogConfig.objects.get(pk=1)".

@kynsi yes, that gist is very old.
We need to port it to the newest requirements and kind of make it "official"

Is it also possible to use plugins in this fashion? I'm trying this code but it doesn't work:
for category in categories.language(language).filter(app_config=config): ...
placeholder = page.placeholders.get(slot='content')
add_plugin(placeholder, plugin_type='BlogLatestEntriesPlugin', language=language, template_folder='Masonry style',app_config=config,latestpostsplugin='LatestPostsPlugin', categories=category)

I think you added too much arguments. latestpostplugin doesn't belong there.
See the django CMS full documentation http://djangocms.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/api_references/#cms.api.add_plugin

[kynsi]

I know, but it keeps saying that latestpostplugin doesn't have a value..

[kynsi]

Here's the exact error:
ValueError: "<LatestPostsPlugin: 5 latest articles by tag>" needs to have a value for field "latestpostsplugin" before this many-to-many relationship can be used.

[yakky]

You cannot provide ManyToMany field values in add_plugin as theorm will try to save the m2m data before the object is ready
do something like:

plugin = add_plugin(placeholder, plugin_type='BlogLatestEntriesPlugin', language=language, template_folder='Masonry style',app_config=config)
plugin.add(category)

This should work
