Can I reorder FAQs

Hi,

There is no option to reorder the FAQs. However, we will add it in a future update soon.

Until the plugin officially supports it, you can accomplish this by adding the following to your functions.php file:

//enable the order field for the faq post type
function modify_faq_post_type() {
    add_post_type_support( 'faq', 'page-attributes' );
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'modify_faq_post_type', 10, 2 );

//alter the sort order of the faq questions on the front-end
function faq_order($query) {
	if(!$query->is_admin) {
		if ($query->get('post_type') == 'faq') {
			$query->set('orderby', 'menu_order');
			$query->set('order', 'ASC');
		}
	}
	return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'faq_order');

Then you just assign each question a value for the order field. It’s not the prettiest solution, but it works.

I’ve added the code to the functions.php file, but I’m not clear what you mean by assigning a value to the order field for each question. Where do I find the order field?

I know actual pages have an order field, but FAQs are not pages and don’t appear to have an order field.

You may need to unhide the field. Check under Screen Options in the upper right when editing an FAQ and make sure that Page Attributes is checked. The order field should show up in the right-hand sidebar once it is.

Hello @kionae,

We will definitely add official support for reordering soon.

Thanks,

Usman
