ah regarding tags, I have done it before so that’s fine. I will definitely add my code in next release. But you have to wait 2-3 weeks as I released an update this week (for bug fixes and latest wordpress-woocommerce testings).

If its relevant to the plugin, I would love to add it. Let me know.

Hi @speakoutenglish

Yes, I will be adding that in the next update. I have noted down this feature in my todo ??

Hi @c4concepts ,

Just checking in if this issue is still in concern. As I have added some steps under “Troubleshooting” section on plugin page for the same issue and they worked for most of the people complaining for the same. You can try them and see if that fixes your problem.

Kind regards,
Aslam

For global product sorting, you have to manually change it back to how it was. For category wise sorting, if you deactivate the plugin then it will reset that sort order.

Hi @athayacoid

The plugin doesn’t provide that feature yet. I will add it to my ToDo for adding that feature in future version.

Kind regards,
Aslam

Hi @andrihallik

That feature is not implemented yet in the plugin. I thought of doing that but that will increase the database size a lot. So its better to use WooCommerce’s inbuilt feature for this (I understand its not very pleasant ui).

Kind regards,
Aslam

Hi @anteroriihimaki

Sorry for getting back to you late.
The plugin uses menu_order field for global product sorting.
And uses rwpp_sortorder_{category_id} field inside postmeta table to save the sort order by product categories.

The plugin doesn’t support page builders but if you are a developer, try tweaking elementor hooks to use menu_order field.

Hope that helps?

Kind regards,
Aslam

@strarsis thanks for the suggestion. I already thought about that but what it does when you select specific category in the plugin admin is that it creates required meta data for all its products in database. Which means if I add that action on activation/update hook, I have to do this for all categories (which means all products) and creating meta data of every product on plugin activation is not a good idea. What if someone has huge database like 1000+ products? then there will be 1000+ sql queries on plugin activation.

So as a solution, I am thinking that I will add tab under plugin page where there will be a button called “Update Database” and here I will safely run bulk queries using ajax request so nothing can break.

If you have any other better suggestion, please do let me know. I am interested to find out other options ??

Thank You,
Aslam

Thanks for the info. It looks like you are using elementor page builder plugin. The plugin doesn’t support any page builder plugins as they have their own methods and templates to list the products.

Hi @mo123z @strarsis @amgill

Sorry to know that the plugin is not showing some of your products. This is a known issue and I have added troubleshooting steps on plugin page aswell.

You can read it under “Troubleshooting” section.
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/rearrange-woocommerce-products/

I am pasting the same steps here, let me know if that helps.

The workaround solution for this is to simply go to Admin > Rearrange Products > Sort by Categories and then select each category one by one from the Dropdown, and DON’T click the “Save” button. This will update all categories metadata into database one by one and will fix your issue. This is just a one-time process and it will fix your issue forever.
What is happening here is that the categories that you have not organized, don’t have metadata(for sort order) in the database. And because of that, some products don’t appear on those categories.

Kind regards,

Hello @alza

Sorry to see the plugin is not working in your case.
Can you show me your website and explain me which products are not getting arranged?

Kind regards,
Aslam

Hi @montrosecannabis

Thanks for using my plugin. I will test the plugin using WP Rocket and let you know if that is causing any issues or not.
Are there any other plugins you are using for which you can give me the list?

Kind regards,
Aslam

Hi @wpshwff

Can you give me some more details, like which SKU are you trying to search? Also I noticed you changed the status to “Resolved”, so did you fix it already?

@chesio glad to know you were able to fix it. I will look into your request in next release which is due soon. ??
