Categories order

I have a store with products categories where I am using a different plugin (only because it is more comfortable to use)

what aspect of this other plugin are you using which you are not doing with this plugin?

to change the categories order themselves and your plugin is overriding it , but I still want to use your plugin to order the products/posts.

unlikely, although both plugins seem to use the same hooks to re-order posts on public queries,however the order storage in the DB will be different and therefore it is not possble to use this plugin to order your posts and display them using the other plugin.

Also: when there are a sub categories inside a parent category , is it possible to keep the posts order on the parent exactly like it is in the child?

yes, don’t include your child posts in the parent category. THis will solve the order issue. In order to display all child terms posts you will need to build custom queries.

I have noticed that when there are a large amount of products on in the cat , some of them are getting lost in the reorder page , I still couldn’t figure out why but I think this is something to do with the range.

lost? By default the only 20 posts are displayed in a large range, which you can alter using the range bar.

Hi Aurovrata Venet!

First of all: thank you for the quick reply, I think you are the only one who’s actually replying the users, so thanks for that.

It is showing all the categories as a list and if a category has sub categories I can drug them all together, it is very usefull to me because I have lots of sub categories.
This is the plugin:

Really? so you mean that all the products will be displayed in the same order like the sub category?
I know that I can write a custom query but I am trying to stick to the default query because I have the “load on scroll” functionality that breaks if I am displaying the products by sub categories, so what I am looking for is just the products to appear in the same order like in sub category. I think it was messy when they haven’t been included in the parent cat (I will check it anyway).

Yeah I tried to use the bar but in some reason it didn’t display all the products…
On the bar it was said 0-231 but on the grid there was less

Hi,
So I tried what you said and I removed the products from the parent category and now the system is saying “no products found” when I am entering the parent category…

First of all: thank you for the quick reply, I think you are the only one who’s actually replying the users, so thanks for that.

you’re wc.

I am using this plugin only to reoder the categories/terms, not the posts/products themselves.

I see, so you need to order both the category terms and the posts within the terms!

so you mean that all the products will be displayed in the same order like the sub category?

So are you displaying posts or sub-categories? It’s diffifult to understand what is the front-end display your are trying to achieve.

Say you have a Parent category called Fruits, and 2 sub-categories called Citrus and Apples.

Fruits contains the following posts: Banana, Grapes
Citrus: limes, Oranges.
Apples: Granny, Fuji.

Now, how are you trying to order your posts for front-end display?

Yeah I tried to use the bar but in some reason it didn’t display all the products…

ok, in the latest version, you can reset your order from the previous 1.x custom tables. (see screenshot #4), reset your posts for the terms in which are you missing your posts.

Yes! exactly! ??

I am displaying the posts but I want them to be in the order of the sub categories and so the posts will be displayed like in the sub category itself.
For example, if I am entering the parent category (fruits), I want to see the posts in order: Bananas then Grapes then Citrus , Apples , and so the posts will be in the same order like I am seeing them if I would enter the sub category itself.

Now, how are you trying to order your posts for front-end display?

The default order of the woocommerce for parent categories are by post title (means that the order is messy, apple would be first and then banana and then citrus and etc , not in the order of my sub categories) , so I tried to use your plugin to order them like I need, but it is a lot of work cause there a lot of posts/products.

ok, in the latest version, you can reset your order from the previous 1.x custom tables. (see screenshot #4), reset your posts for the terms in which are you missing your posts.

I have already tried that… didn’t help

but it is a lot of work cause there a lot of posts/products.

indeed, but if the order you seek is a custom (manual) order then there is no magic solution.

I am displaying the posts but I want them to be in the order of the sub categories

place your posts in sib-categories (not in parent categories).

order posts in each sub-category term as per your requirement.

order each sub-category using the Category Order plugin you mentioned above.

that should give you the required result.

hi there… is it possible to get the old version back?

sure, follow this thread.

v2.2.1 has a small update on the front-end queries to try to remedy some of the issues reported by various users about the front-end orders not showing up properly.

I am marking this thread as resolved since I have not heard back from you
