I use this plugin and I’m grateful for its existence. However, I’m seeing the following error in my error log while using PHP 7.1+.

[08-Apr-2019 12:17:31 UTC] PHP Warning: trim() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /.../wp-content/plugins/custom-post-order-category/wp-customcategorypostorder.php on line 488

I hope we can fix this. There are other comparable plugins but as far as I know, there is no way to migrate/export my post order between this and any similar plugins.

Hi I have installed this plugin but can’t seem to get the custom order working on the front-end on a custom scroller section I made using posts, this is my code:

$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => 20,
'category_name' => 'staff-' . $wp_query->queried_object->post_name,
'order' => 'ASC'
);

Do I need to add something else?

Is there anyway to make it so it supports custom taxonomies? I have a custom post type of Memebers and the Member Directory lists each member by name, but on my Board of Directors page I want to be able to reorder them based on position. Doing so with a normal post type re-order plugin makes the Members page change as well. I just want to change the custom taxonomy/category of Board Members.

Thanks,
Cody

It does not show multilevel cpt categories it only shows first level categories to load posts.Is there any way to enable the multilevel categories.

Which plugins is it incompatible with?

When I load posts the first time, they are not in the right order (not sorted by id).

If I don’t enable custom ordering at some category, posts are sorted by id (at front-end), but if I load them at plugin management screen, order is messed up completely and I have to rearrange them first…

Hi!,
I have a CPT that have 3 categories;
I need to display different order of the post sort by selected category, but when I load the category in your plugin the name of the post is hidden…

how can I show it?

Thanks

Have just upgraded to Thesis 1.8.5.
The order I’ve chosen on the ‘Custom Category/Post Type post Order’ page does not show, despite repeatedly hitting ‘Load posts’.
Posts are just appearing in the same order as on the ‘Posts’ page.

So I created a ‘Test Category.’ Then created three posts, numbered, 1,2,3. These of course appeared in reverse order in in the ‘Posts’ page and on the site. I used Custom Category Post Order to order these consecutively, but they still appear in the ‘reverse’ order of 3,2,1.
Thanks for any suggestions.

hi there,
we have posts in sub categories, and would like to reorder not only the sub categories, but also the parent categories called ‘all event’ and ‘circuits’ but these parent categories are grayed out.
Is it possible to sort the parent categories as well?

here is the site URL. The pages in question are:
https://69.36.164.146/~wanderin/category/all_events/
and
https://69.36.164.146/~wanderin/category/all_events/circuits/

https://69.36.164.146/~wanderin/category/all_events/circuits/mwsc/
IS correctly reordered with this wonderful plugin.

I would like to send you screen shots if you reply to this message
many thanks,
eve lurie

Shame it was a useful plugin. Other similar plugins continue to function but the useful aspect of this – calling up posts by category – was what made it so handy.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/custom-post-order-category/

Could try this plugin if you’re having difficulty which works fine.

Hi am using wordpress 3.6

The Category page works fine but when it getting the post from that category for the home page they are not in the custom order. . . please please please help

Thank YOU!

Hi faaiq!

I love the idea of this plugin – thanks!

However it does not seem to work for me: WP 3.5.2. I rearrange the posts, but when I select the cateogy to see the order has re-arranged, the posts display in the same order.

Any ideas?
Many thanks Tricia

wp 3.5.1 – plugin 1.5.3 from today works only for category, it has no effects on post. sometimes show post , sometime not. i have no change anything. on local server i upgrade the plugin to 1.5.4 but doesn’t works.

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/custom-post-order-category/

Nice plugin but wanted to let you know about this issue.

We call in a random testimonial in our footer file and it worked site wide except on the taxonomy page we were using your plugin. After looking at the query being returned I noticed that it was trying to join your custom tables to the footer query even though it was a different post type and not using the taxonomy. This was causing the query to return no posts.

I was able to get around this by changing the WP_Query to a get_posts but not everyone will know to do that if they encounter this problem.

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/custom-post-order-category/

Excellent plugin! Really useful, but now it is not working. If I arrange posts by this plugin, the category page is blank (under description is nothing). I have no idea when did this change, but I remember at least before one month it worked perfectly.

Just installed this and it does not seem to work. Trying to reorder posts of the category ‘Travel.’

I’ve checked the category carefully, and loaded it several times. The order refuses to budge.
Just updated WordPress to the latest version.
Thanks for any help.

When enabling the Custom Category Post Order plugin the recent posts are removed on two of the category website pages:

https://www.ottumwaradio.com/category/obituaries/
https://www.ottumwaradio.com/category/events/

However, the recent posts widgets work properly on the following category pages:

https://www.ottumwaradio.com/category/ottumwa-news-2/ottumwa-news/
https://www.ottumwaradio.com/category/ottumwa-news-2/local-sports-news/

Can you help resolve this issue? I really like the plugin!

Thanks!

Hi there,

I’m building natureofsand.nl and I use the cpoc plugin to sort the posts.

When sorting the post-order in category 5, everything works immediately:
https://natureofsand.nl/?cat=5

When sorting in category 6, however, it breaks. As soon as I check the box
“Use Ordering for selected Category:”,
the page https://natureofsand.nl/?cat=6 displays
“Apologies, but no entries were found.”

Any thoughts on this one?

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/custom-post-order-category/

What change to I need to make to my template in order for it to display the posts in this custom order? I added the following but it doesn’t work:

<?php global $query_string; query_posts($query_string . "&order=ASC&orderby=menu_order"); ?>

Thanks!

Hi,
Super useful and easy to use plugin to manage post order. Unfortunately it only show categories from the original language, not those translated with WPML. Is this easy to fix?

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/custom-post-order-category/

Hello!
On one sub category the plugin works perfectly, but on an parent category in the Post Order section of the administration i see all the posts from that category but only the first three have the add/remove link, and in effect the category page shows only that three!

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/custom-post-order-category/

Well, as my glowing report earlier suggested, this plugin was working great; but now it is not working at all. There is no effect anywhere no matter what changes I make. Hmmmmm

Yes, I disabled the other plugins to troubleshoot(I only had 3 of them); and tried it with the Twenty Eleven theme.

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/custom-post-order-category/

Simple, efficient, and effective.

I wanted to do what I consider complex sorting. For my test, on a fresh installation of WordPress with the Twenty Eleven theme, I created 3 posts and 2 categories. I placed all 3 of the posts in both of the categories. I then sorted the posts in each of the categories in different orders, and Custom Category Post order gave me the category independent sorts without a hitch (Just make sure you have the “Use Ordering for selected Category:” check box checked.)

What really impressed me was the ease of re-sorting. When you drag the posts to different orders you do not see anything happen on the page; there is no sign of anything refreshing, but indeed, no sooner are the posts reordered in the plugin interface, they are reordered on the front-end.

It simply works. Thank you, faaiq and Sr. (Or is that just one person?)

P.S. My Post Order looked like it had some promise, but I was able to reorder everything with Custom Category Post order more quickly than I could even set up My Post Order to even begin sorting, and then it didn’t work at all. (I appreciate the effort and generosity of developing these plugins; no disrespect intended)

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/custom-post-order-category/

I’m not sure when exactly the plugin stopped working, but it looks like it was just after the update to WP 3.4.1 (just went to arrange the post order and had noticed the problem in the Admin area).

The Admin post area doesn’t have the draggable interface any more. Any suggestions?

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/custom-post-order-category/

After update to V1.5.1 the sorted post don’t show up anymore. The category listing just says: Post not found.
