Backend Pagination

Also, if you move an item to number 1 why don’t you loop through all the other taxonomy items and bump their order up by 1. I mean, you’re not even checking for a taxonomy item possessing the same order when you update it? You can just rewrite every value using an incremented counter each time one is updated if you want to do it that way…

Hi @jr361202,

I was unaware of the issues with pagination. Unfortunately we can’t disable pagination but we will fix it so that the order number takes into account the pagination.

Thank you for reporting this.

All the best,
Kevin.

Hey @jr361202,

This has been fixed with version 2.0.0.

In v. 2.0.2 backend pagination seems to be broken again. I can’t drag an item from p.2 up to p.1 (unless there’s some trick to doing it, which I’d be glad to know about).

I also note that in Firefox and Chrome dragging is difficult. As soon as I select an item to drag, the list formatting breaks down and moving each item becomes a chore.

Hi @mitteldo,

You can’t drag an item from page 2 to page 1. Unless I’m mistaken, none of WordPress’ drag and drop sorting works like that.

What we fixed in V2+ is that dragging and dropping on page 2 doesn’t set your taxonomy’s order to 1. For example, if you have 20 tax terms on page 1, dragging to the top of page 2 sets your tax order to 21. Previously your tax order was set to 1 in this scenario.

What do you mean the list item breaks down? Do you have Advanced Custom Fields installed? There is a bug with ACF that the developers are aware of (but most likely won’t fix) that causes this type of thing. If you don’t have ACF installed, can you send me a screenshot of the issue?

Thank you,
Kevin.

Thanks for the clarification.

I just sent you a screen shot via email.

Since drag and drop requires a click and hold, I ended up using my phone to grab a screen shot. Let me know if you need a clearer photo.

Hi Ken.

I didn’t receive an email. Can you upload it to an image hosting website like imgur.com and paste the link here?

Thank you,
Kevin.

I see, thank you.

That’s the same UI problem that happens when ACF is installed and is due to the way ACF handles their own sorting functionality. I thought they handled it oddly and I’m surprised if another plugin is doing the same thing.

You don’t have ACF installed, correct? Are you able to copy your list of active plugins so I can see which one is the likely culprit?

Thank you,
Kevin.

No, ACF is not installed.

See list of plugins here.

Nothing immediately stands out to me as being responsible for this. Do either Elementor or Elementor Pro customize the taxonomy screen? Do they have their own taxonomy ordering functionality built-in?

I am not aware of anything like that in Elementor. In fact, the developers of the theme I am using (MyListing) recommended your plugin due to the absence of such functionality.

Getting back to my original misguided question: Do you have any suggestions regarding how to reorder a list that spans multiple pages?

Increase your terms per page in your screen options so the terms don’t span multiple pages ??

??

Interestingly enough, that doesn’t work. I tried moving a random item by changing items per page from 20 to 35. I wasn’t able to get past the point where the original page break had been.

Next I tried moving the item to the top of the original page, and then changing the number of items per page from 20 to 21 so it was now on the previous page. Again, I could not move it up any further.
