We recently updated to php 8.2 and now seeing an error with this plugin:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: in_array(): Argument #2 ($haystack) must be of type array, null given
in?/home/stagingwebsite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-taxonomy-order/wp-taxonomy-order.php?on line?112

Warning: Undefined array key “taxonomies”

Hi! I’m not sure if my issue was specific to Elementor or if something changed with WordPress but in order for me to get this plugin to work with Elementor I had to use the code I found here: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/7440/change-order-of-custom-taxonomy-list

function set_the_terms_in_order ( $terms, $id, $taxonomy ) {
    $terms = wp_cache_get( $id, "{$taxonomy}_relationships_sorted" );
    if ( false === $terms ) {
        $terms = wp_get_object_terms( $id, $taxonomy, array( 'orderby' => 'term_order' ) );
        wp_cache_add($id, $terms, $taxonomy . '_relationships_sorted');
    }
    return $terms;
}
add_filter( 'get_the_terms', 'set_the_terms_in_order' , 10, 4 );

function do_the_terms_in_order () {
    global $wp_taxonomies;  //fixed missing semicolon
    // the following relates to tags, but you can add more lines like this for any taxonomy
    $wp_taxonomies['post_tag']->sort = true;
    $wp_taxonomies['post_tag']->args = array( 'orderby' => 'term_order' );    
}
add_action( 'init', 'do_the_terms_in_order');

Hi,

I just installed the fresh new 1.0.5 version, and it doesn’t seem to work. (with WP 6.0.3). When I drag & drop the category, it takes immediately its original order back.

Thanks for this plugin.
I have a question, why the settings is shown to the editors?
How can I keep the settings menu only for admins?

Thanks

Hi NuttTaro,

thank you for your awesome and perfectly working plug-in. I totally agree with others that this should be core functionality. ??

I have one idea for an improvement that I would appreciate: Right now, the “Taxonomy Order” admin menu item is displayed at the top level of the admin menu. Since the settings of your plugin don’t need frequent change, I feel the menu item should be positioned a bit more subtile (for example as a sub menu item of the default “Settings” item). Otherwise, the menu gets too crowded in complex projects with a lot of custom post types.

Thank you,
Adrian
