A basically-good plugin with a very buggy implementation

  • The idea is great – but the end product is just useless when it’s about custom queries on client sites.

    I tried to use the plugin with a wp_query including custom tax query – it just didn’t work, the query didn’t output anything.

    Then, completely accidentally I’ve found out that clicking in the “Use the manual sorting for this category?” section on “No”, then on “Yes” solves the problem. Let’s call this Method 1.

    Then I had to use a slightly modified version of my custom query on a different page template – same problem, this time Method 1 didn’t work.
    Then I started to play a game including two steps, step A: disable-reenable the plugin, step B: retry Method 1.
    After 30 mins of playing this game in different variations and number of repetitions suddenly the problem got solved.

    WTF??!

    Anyways, I din’t want my client to spend precious hours playing this funny game so I uninstalled the plugin and started to look for an alternative.
