How to revert to default firing order?

    The Firing Order page in FDP has a warning “Plugins should use action hooks to run code in the desired order. Change the firing order if you really don’t have other cleaner solutions.” I’m concerned about what this means. Is there a way to revert the firing order back to the default? How do I undo this?

    Hi @twowheeler,

    changing the firing order of the plugins is a quick and dirty solution that can always be avoided by following the WordPress best practices and using properly the action hooks.
    When you have an issue with a plugin because its code should fire in a different order, you should open a thread on the support forum of that plugin instead of changing the firing order.
    Honesty, the firing order feature is there only because many users want it, and you can use it for debugging purposes, but I don’t recommend to keep a different firing order.
    WordPress is designed to call the plugins in a whatever order, and if you need to change the firing order of a specific plugin, then it means something is not good.

    To restore the original firing order, just activate and deactivate a plugin from the page of plugins.
    You can use for example Hello Dolly if you have no other plugins that are now inactive.

    I hope it helps.

    Have a great day!

    Jose
