Hi there,

The plugin seems to not work with the Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE) plugin.

I contacted the dev about this and this is what he wrote:

You might want to report it to the support forum of Real Custom Post Order. Ask them to contact support at?wpase.com?and I’ll provide a free license so they can fix it on their end. It is likely because ASE’s Admin Columns Manager is adding an extra wrapper div on the list table, so their CSS / JS is not able to properly add the drag-and-drop pointer on each row. It needs to be fixed on their end unfortunately.

Would be amazing, if you could have a look at this and maybe fix it. Thanks!

I was very close to deactivating the plugin because it wasn’t working with my CPTs. Then I found this in a support thread:

If the custom post type supports menu_order you can activate the functionality in “Screen settings” in the top right corner. ??

Hi, Can you please enable sorting of sticky posts? if a site has multiple sticky posts, it would be great if we can sort the order in which they are visible. Thank you

I can’t seem to get it to work, yet I have this plugin on other sites and it works fine.

The admin side shows the order I want that I have dragged into position, however the public facing view, the order is stuck in the date order instead of my chosen order.

Here are some screen grabs:

Admin view: https://capture.dropbox.com/uZ6r59NMWDrAzrmB

Public view: https://capture.dropbox.com/qr05T7R4sTvU61sl

Is there something else I need to do? I don’t have any other reordering plugins.

Thanks – Jane

Hey! Thank you for a very smooth plugin ??

When using along with Admin Columns, I’ve noticed some wonky columns sized when dragging post, slug apparently super wide, excerpt really narrow. Screenshot below.

It works fine, it just looks off.

Is that something you can reproduce?

I’m moving a web site that was built in 2019. It has a lot of posts and pages. I am converting some pages to posts, and I’m giving these posts the publication date and time of the original page, i.e., in 2019.

Nonetheless, the posts are showing up on the front of the web site as if they are new. I’m also using Real Custom Post Order, but it is almost impossible and very hard work, to move a post from 2019 off the front of the site, back to where it belongs, in among the 2019 posts.

Have you any tips on how to do this easily?

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

I have pages that have subpages, and I would like to move this whole complex at once.
However, only 1 page can be moved.

For example:
If I move a parent page to the top of my list, then I have to search in my long list of pages where their child pages are now, so that I can move them below the already moved parent page.

It would be nice if you can also move pages and their associated subpages together, at once, instead of moving every single page separately.

Thanks.

Hallo Matthias,

Ich habe auf einer bestehenden Website, welche dieses Plugin installiert hat, einen neuen Post Type erstellt und dann die benutzerdefinierte Reihenfolge aktiviert. Leider erscheinen aber auf der Seite keine Handles, um die Reihenfolge anzupassen.

Das komische ist, dass ich auf der Seite schon fünf andere Custom Post Types habe, bei denen es einwandfrei funktioniert. Nur bei diesem neuen Funktioniert es nicht.

Den Post Type habe ich mit JetEngine von Crocoblock erstellt und die Einstellungen sind gleich wie bei den restlichen Post Types.
Gibt es ein Limit an Post Types oder sowas? Und falls nicht, welche Einstellungen bei der Erstellung von Custom Post Types k?nnten dafür verantwortlich sein, dass die Handles nicht angezeigt werden?

Vielen Dank für deine Hilfe.
Liebe Grüsse
Simone

We have been using RCPO successfully for a while now, in combination with the paid version real-category-manager.

For performance reasons, we wanted to use an object cache ( in this case we use a redis server and Till Krüss’ well-known redis plugin (https://de.www.ads-software.com/plugins/redis-cache/) The plugin implements the object-cache.php dropin which is then used by wordpress automatically.

However, as soon as we enable the object cache, the reordering does not work any more. Means: I can still reorder the posts in the backend, but the new order does not show in the frontend.

The previous post here, https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/how-to-purge-litespeed-cache-automatically-after-reording-posts/ , reported similar problems.

By comparing the database and the redis cache content the reason becomes obvious: when reordering in the GUI, RCPO updates the wp_posts table ( field menu_order is changed ), but the cached version remains unchanged.

I am not sure whether this is a problem of RCPO or of the caching plugin. My assumption was that wordpress core and cache plugins would ensure that changes of wp_posts are propagated to the cache. Is this not true? Is it necessary to implement for a plugin to implement filter hooks that are called for cache purges after changing posts? If so, it would be wise to purge only the entries of the changed posts, not the whole cache …

Regards, Ulrich

I noticed that LiteSpeed Cache did not automatically flush its cache when reordering posts, leaving regular visitors with the “old order” on the front end.

I found that we can instruct LiteSpeed cache to purge cache when reordering, by adding the hook custom_menu_order to the LiteSpeed WordPress plugins Cache > Purge > Purge All Hooks setting.

After adding that hook the list, cache is purged automatically. A good option for editors who don’t have access to purge the cache manually.

Hey!

Thank you for sharing this plugin with the community.

I just updated to PHP 8.1. With WP-debug on, I get these deprecation notifications:

I’ll be happy to test any update prepared for PHP 8.1

–Update– oops, I just wasn’t seeing the style change on hover. I was grabbing at the row itself…

Hi, I have ‘Custom order for this list table’ => Enabled, but I don’t have any different behavior in the dashboard. No drag and drop or anything. Any advice? I’m using a Divi child theme.

• This topic was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by sreed27.

Ordering products used to work fine with WooCommerce – however?now we just realized that the products order on the page listing all products is was totally confused.

Also setting an alternative order through “Customizer > WooCommerce > Product Catalog > Default Product Sorting” seems to be broken by Real Custom Post Order. None of the suggested sortings work when RCPO is activated. All is back to normal when I deactivate RCPO.

I hope somebody can help with this since I really like this plugin and would love to keep using it, of course also on websites using WooCommerce. Thank you!!

Hi there,

Great plugin! Would it be possible to add support for taxonomies and custom taxonomies?

I want to use this plugin as a replacement for the Intuitive Custom Post Order plugin.

This is the only feature that is missing. Thanks!

Regards

Von einem Augenblick zum anderen sind heute die Anfasser zum Verschieben der Beitr?ge verschwunden, die Reihenfolge wieder auf Standard zurückgesetzt.
Auch ein Rollback auf V. 1.3.36 nutzte nichts.

Ebenso ?nderte ein Deaktivieren aller Plugins nichts. Standard-Theme, alle Cache gel?scht, keine ?nderung. Das Plugin ist pl?tzlich wirkungslos.
An der Site wurde nichts ge?ndert, blo? ein Backup gemacht (daher hatte ich auch ein ?ltere Version “Real Custom Post Order 1.3.36” parat.)

Was nun?

This works for posts an dpages, but doesnt for cusotm post types. How do I turn it on for these?

When I activate this plugin the list of posts and web searches are displayed from oldest to newest.

I try to install older versions but don’t work.

Hello,

thank you for your very well done plugin.

I have however a frequent problem. I don’t know why I often have to reorder all the articles. The order ” breaks ” for an unknown reason, maybe at each update of the plugin but also at other occasions (emptying the cache ?). It is very time consuming to redo everything (more than 1000 articles).

Is there a solution to prevent this?

I really like this plugin. But my server response time goes up from 848ms to 2.04s when this plugin is active.
Is there anything I can do about this other than chosing another plugin?

Hi, I really like the simplicity of this Plugin’s UI!

But why does it reverse the default sorting so the oldest are on top?
In admin as well as in the frontend archive, before I even changed anything.

All posts still have menu_order 0.
(If I deactivate the Plugin the default order is correct again.)

For now I worked around this by clicking on the admin date column to sort as needed and then reposition one post back and forth to save all posts the new menu_order.

I think you could fix this behaviour, if you change your orderby query arg to

'orderby' => array(
		'menu_order'    => 'ASC',
		'post_date'     =>  'DESC'
		)

(And remove the other ‘order’ => ‘ASC’ arg)
Haven’t tried it, though.

Hi there,

I started using your plugin on a few pages and noticed it does not work all the time. I didn’t see a pattern yet. It works on some custom post types, and it does not work on others.

Any idea how I could narrow that down?

Of course, it’s enabled in the screen options.

CPTs are set up with Jet Engine, but I did not notice any difference in the settings between those custom post type.

best regards
Markus

Does your plug-in work with parent/child page arrangements? We are using this setup for a FAQ system for online software. Parent pages organize child pages by overall topic. I need to put an overview page first in each topic category, which of course is out of alphabetical order.

Simple Page Ordering 2.4.1 is installed. I’ve dragged/dropped each overview page directly below the category parent page. No change on public site.

I’ve cleared my browser cache. The site does not use a caching plug-in, but Yoast (non-premium) is installed on here, which could be what’s interfering.

(ETA: I verified that the pages are numbered correctly within each section in Quick Edit/Edit.)

Hello!

First of all, great plugin!

I have a custom post type with multiple categories and I have a problem when ordering posts from single category view ( /wp-admin/edit.php?tourism_category=category-name&post_type=tourism ).

The order changes fine in that category, but it messes up post order in other categories. Same happens if I reorder posts in different category, lets say category-name-2 in that query, post order in category-name will be messed up again.

Am I doing something wrong here? Or maybe this plugin can’t do what I am trying to do here?

I have my link-template.php file slightly modified so next and previous navigation post links will only point to posts with the same category.
$in_same_term Optional. Whether post should be in a same taxonomy term.

The last update of rcpo version 1.3.18 breaks the order of post navigation links.
For example: In category Kung Fu on post 20 (id 4878) the previous link is post 19 (id 4866) and the next link should be post 21 (id 4889).
The numbered posts are just part of the title (like Mantis Fist – 23) because I like to number them. I know posts are by ID numbers.
Another example: Post 18 is showing content from post 17 with the previous navigation link pointing to post 16.
I have deactivated the plugin and will see if I can try a older version or wait for an update.
Thanks for your time.

When enabling SiteGround’s Optimizer plugin it disabled Real Custom Post Order’s drag and drop on the backend. Not sure who needs to see this but could be an issue with anyone using SiteGround.

Hello,

In the WordPress Admin area, under Posts, the default order of the posts is by date, so that the most recently added posts are at the top.

After installing this plugin that is no longer the case. Even after uninstalling this plugin whatever modification it made has remained.

I know it’s this plugin because this problem exists in the Sandbox tryout of the plugin. I’m upset that I didn’t notice the problem in the sandbox before installing the plugin, and that uninstalling the plugin doesn’t fix it.

Even in the sandbox the posts aren’t sorted by Date with newest at the top. If you click the Date column to sort it that way, then click Posts, it’ll go back to not being sorted that way. Whatever this plugin has done has also messed up the sorting in other plugins.

Where in the code has this plugin made this change? Is it in the database?

Can you tell me what to search for in the code to fix this, or can I send you my database file, or will you update your plugin to make it fix this upon uninstallation?

Thank you,

Jamez

Hi,
i use your plugin to order my CPT. now i want to use this order in a template:
A little snippet from my code:

if ($catc = $term->count) {
            $termz = get_terms([
    'taxonomy' => get_queried_object()->taxonomy,
    'parent'   => $catid,    
    'order' => 'DESC', //<----------- which Expression should i use
    'orderby' => 'title', //<----------- which Expression should i use
]);
echo '<ul class="catul catunder">';
             foreach($termz as $cy) { 

                echo '<li><a href="' . get_category_link( $cy->term_id ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $cy->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $cy->name.'</a> </li> ';
             
            }

 }
echo '</ul>';
        }

se comments in code. i want to use the custom order.
thank you!

Hi,

your plugin worked perfectly.
WordPress updated to 5.9.1 automatically today.
I don’t know if it is related to this update, but the Drag and Drop Handler on the left side of each post is not there any more.

Does anyone experience this behaviour?

Thanks in advance
Mikkel

Why does your plugin need the WordPress REST API? I usually have it disabled (The plugin still working).
