Order from the First to the Lastest Post

Stick <?php $order = “ASC”; ?> in your template. If that doesn’t work, reference the template (like an archive) like this: https://yoursite.com/template.php?order=ASC

Thanks! It worked perfectly ??

Note that if you have a RewriteRule in your .htaccess creating friendly permalinks, referencing the template in the URL you type into your browser won’t work. What you want to do instead is add “&order=ASC” to the rule in .htaccess, thusly (for a category archive):
RewriteRule ^archives/category/?(.*) /index.php?category_name=$1&order=ASC [QSA]
or thusly (for a month/year archive):
RewriteRule ^archives/([0-9a-z-]+)?/?([0-9]+)?/?$ /index.php?name=$1&page=$2&order=ASC [QSA]
Hope this helps someone.

And just since it’s been a problematic thing to implement, note that the $order=’ASC’ must come BEFORE the wp-blog-header include for it to actually work. ??

Would <?php $order = “ASC”; ?> go in the templates.php file?

It goes to the file index.php in the root directory (NOT theme directory) of WP installation


<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
$order = 'ASC';
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>
