My client hasn’t asked further so we can mark this closed; thanks! ??

Thanks for that update/clarification; much appreciated! ??

Hi Pepe:

After I posted this, I realized that Genesis Featured Posts is really a built-in widget that is part of the Genesis framework, not a plugin, actually. If you have the Genesis framework (theme) installed in WP, you’ll see Genesis Featured Pages and Genesis Featured Widgets in the list of widget choices in the widget editor; I’m using the Classic Editor, BTW. If you don’t have the Genesis (StudioPress) theme, I could make you a guest login for the site I’m working on; here’s a form where you could share whatever email you’d like me to use for that:
https://intentdesignstudio.com/contact/

BTW, thanks again for your super help a few months ago helping with customizing your plugin; we’re now using that customization on 2 online local news sites.
Much appreciated! ??

I also tried Simple Sitemaps (to see if the problem is system memory or likely to be specific to the plugin) and used 512M, then 1024M, then 2048M; still getting the same issue, will ask the web host for help… but will check back in case I’m still having issues. THANKS!

Hi Kevin:

Thanks for your speedy, informative and helpful reply! Version 2.9.2 seems to be working great; MUCH appreciated!!! ??

Hi again Nitesh:

Interestingly, I was able to achieve the desired sort order by eliminating the orderby parameter from the shortcode altogether, using this shortcode:

[uwa_live_auctions columns=”3″ paginate=”false”]

(I tested this also with order=”desc” which works fine for alphabetic by post title sorting in reverse alphabetic order.)

which you can see on this updated (shop) page:

https://pollyplumb.org/all-auctions/banner-auction/yachats-banner-auction-2020/

I also found that ascending is the default, so I left that out as well.

However, when I made a test page (with the number of columns set to 3, I only saw 1 column.

Also, I would still like to know what option to use for the orderby shortcode parameter to display auctions sorted by highest current bid or lowest current bid.

MANY THANKS in advance for a reply on how to sort by current bid price! ??

Another test (after finding this page – https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/ … with the list of Available Product Attributes which shows that “name” isn’t one of them, so I changed the shortcode to use title instead. I tried:

[uwa_live_auctions columns=”3″ orderby=”title” order=”asc” paginate=”false”]
and
[uwa_live_auctions columns=”3″ orderby=”title” order=”desc” paginate=”false”]
and both show the auction items (products) in the same order regardless. Could it be that the titles all begin with “2020-banner-by-” and then the artist name, so if the alpha sort only uses the first 15 characters, then the sorting wouldn’t work… Or perhaps that isn’t the correct parameter for orderby? Please advise. THANKS! ?? Here’s the auction (shop) page URL again:
https://pollyplumb.org/all-auctions/banner-auction/yachats-banner-auction-2020/

… a quick P.S. It would also be helpful to know how (using the shortcode) to sort (either ascending or descending) by name (post title would work since all begin with “2020 Banner by ____) followed by the artists name. I tried [uwa_live_auctions columns=”3″ orderby=”name” order=”desc” paginate=”false”] and
[uwa_live_auctions columns=”3” orderby=”name” order=”asc” paginate=”false”] but neither worked. Any suggestions? Having both of these plus sorting by highest-to-lowest and lowest-to-highest current bid would be super helpful.

THANKS! ??

Hi Nitesh … Nevermind on the full 29 on the shop page; after re-applying your suggested shortcode, I recalled that I had “Show Auctions on: … On Shop Page” so I unchecked that checkbox and now it works as intended. MUCH appreciated! … Now (using the shortcode supplied but changed to only show live auctions) I’d like to change the orderby (sort order) from orderby=”date” to the low-to-high bidding order is there a short code for that? I looked on this page https://docs.auctionplugin.net/article/70-installed-pages and also googled

“Ultimate WooCommerce Auction PRO” shortcode parameters orderby …

but didn’t find a list of shortcode parameters for the orderby functionality. Please advise ASAP. We might also want to (from time to time during this 7-week auction reverse the order from ascending to descending, so hopefully that will work too.

THANKS! ??

Thanks, Nitesh!

I just (temporarily) tried the shortcode you suggested – [uwa_all_auctions columns=3 orderby=”date” order=”desc/asc” paginate=”false”] … and it worked perfectly … EXCEPT the prior paginated page was ALSO there below the full (29 item) unpaginated page made by the shortcode. How do I disable the default (paginated) page below the shortcode-generated full page?

Thanks in advance for another reply. I’m attaching the System Report, too; hopefully that will help with the bid-high/low sorting issue.

MUCH appreciated! ??

I’m also seeing the same results on the Auction (shop) page when I switch from “Sort by current bid: High to low” and “Sort by current bid: Low to high” … Neither seems to work, see screen snaps below:

Please advise; thanks! ??

Thanks Matt!

That was super easy; how did I miss it? ??

Much appreciated!

Thanks for the speedy response! The new version works fine; hooray! Although the buttons on the slideshow now all have “<” symbols within the circles; not a big deal. That could be a much more leisurely fix! ?? Really appreciate the speed of your reply with the quick fix!!! MUCH appreciated! ??
… Interestingly, on another site using the plugin, I WAS able to log in with the 2.40.2 version and then do a normal back end update to 2.40.3. On the other site, I used the WP Rollback plugin to revert to the 2.40.1 version and then updated it to 2.40.3 from there. Go figure! ??

I’m seeing a similar situation; when I rename the folder to strong-testimonials-disabled, I can load wp-admin; so I used WP Rollback to roll back to version 2.40.1 (from 2.40.2) and now I’m not seeing any issues. Please advise ASAP; THANKS!

Hi Mihaela:

Certainly; here’s a screen snap of the view settings:

https://remoteenergytherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/RET-testimonial-slider-settings-screencapture-remoteenergytherapy-wp-admin-2020-03-25-13_17_22.png

The “intermittent” nature of this is a bit puzzling; sometimes the slider runs as expected, other times it seems stuck.

Please let me know if you need anything else to troubleshoot. THANKS! ??
