Cloned Post Not In Correct Order On Front Page

Hi,
sorry for the delay!

I don’t have enough info to solve the issue, maybe the theme is not relying on publication dates to sort the posts?
Which theme are you using?

This is happening on one of my client’s sites, too.
I’m using the event organiser plugin and the cloned events are all showing up in random order. I’ve even tried adjusting the publish date, to no avail. I don’t believe this was happening before the last update. The theme is a child theme of Unique by Theme Hybrid.

Here the home page with the events:

I may be changing this soon, by adding advanced post type order plugin as a quick fix.

Hi Alicia,
are they standard posts or it is a custom post type created by some plugin or by the theme?

Hi Lopo!
It’s a custom post type called event, being created by the Event Organiser Plugin.
I managed to make it work by using Advanced Post Type Order plugin and ordering by Function:
eo_event_start().

Hi Alicia,
I tried to install Event Organiser but can’t reproduce the bug. It seems that the developers have correctly used my hooks to ensure compatibility.
Could it be a problem with the theme? It’s quite old, last updated 3 years ago, so maybe there’s some issue with the last versions of Event Organiser, which handles the query modifications to show events correctly ordered?
Do you have the chance to switch temporarily to another theme, disabling Advanced Post Type Order, to see if the problem still happens?

Hi Lopo!
I’ll have to try that out on a test server. This site is live.

It could also be the loops I’ve created in an Event Organiser custom template file.
In any case, it’s working now.

And before I added the advanced post type order plugin, it was working when I added some test events. I updated loads of plugins, so perhaps there was an issue that corrected itself with an update.

Since you saw no issues, I’m going to assume both yours and Event Organiser plugins are working fine!

Thanks so much!

Hi,
glad to hear that! Feel free to write you experience any other issue.
