[Plugin: My Page Order] not changing the order on the site

Got the server error to stop now, but in admin when I drag & drop using “My PagerOrder” to reorder the ‘dealers’ sub-pages it still keeps them in alphabetical order on the front end.

Not sure what to tell you, the last change I gave you should have worked. As long as you tell the wp_list_pages function to sort by “menu_order” it should use the order you specify.

Big thanks for all your help – I think I’ll uninstall & reinstall My Page Order & see if that helps

G’day

I am quite a novis at WordPress and am having a similar problem with various other members; I have the fastfood theme and installed the WP My Page Order plugin, and can’t seem to change the order of the menu items.

The only area I can find to change it is in the functions.php.

I have attached the relevant code where I assume would need editing?

I have tried different options as mentioned in similar posts, simply as trial and error but still unsuccessful. I can get the sub-menu items to reorder as I want, but not the pages listed on top of the menu bar.

Any idea how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance.

JR,

Switch this:

$pages = get_pages( 'parent=0' );

to this:

$pages = get_pages( 'sort_column=menu_order&parent=0' );

Hello,

When I look up php files…it looks different than above. I’m not even sure if I’m looking in the right file.

My pages are not in the order I want them to be.

Below is the code from functions.php (zeta theme).

What do I need to change to get the Page Order working?

Thanks.

JJ,

Switch this:

ORDER BY $wpdb->posts.post_title ASC

to this:

ORDER BY $wpdb->posts.menu_order ASC

That should get it in the right order.

Wonderful!

Works perfectly now!

Thanks so much! ??

Hi Froman118,

I looked at your advice for someone earlier- I am trying to order my pages and it worked- but now the sub pages have disapeared. Do you know how I can fix this? I have a stitchpress theme and you said to go into functions but I don’t have that. I have theme function, header, etc. Where would i find the command for sub pages?

Brittany

Brittany,

Are you on this Stitchpress theme?

What did you do before to get the pages ordered correctly?

Andrew

OK my turn to ask froman something! I need my subpages to order correctly (as they do in admin)

I have put in ‘sort_column=menu_order’ into…

foreach($children as $child) {
$tabs .= wp_list_pages(‘title_li=&include=’.$child->ID.’&echo=0&sort_column=menu_order’);
}

… to no avail.

here is the full code for my sidebar.php

Thankyou!!

I looked in my Zen theme’s functions.php. It may have something to do with this?

// Register sidebar widgets
if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) {
	register_sidebar(array(
		'name'=> 'Top Tabs',
		'id' => 'top_tabs',
		'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget' => '</li>',
	));
	register_sidebar(array(
		'name'=> 'Right Sidebar',
		'id' => 'right_sidebar',
		'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget' => '</li>',
		'before_title' => '<h3>',
		'after_title' => '</h3>'
	));
}

?>

Thanks again!!

That’s just the code to set up widget areas in the top and side menu.

Yes, I see that now. Thanks esmi

For the Zen theme here is the solution: for subpages you need to define the menu order in the get_pages() function before it gets to the wp_list_pages() function

I hope that helps someone!

if (is_page()) {
	$this_page = $post->ID;
	if ($post->post_parent) $this_page= $post->post_parent;
	$children = get_page_children($this_page, get_pages('sort_column=menu_order'));
	if($children) {
		$tabs .= "<li>\n".'<ul class="subpages">';
		foreach($children as $child) {
			$tabs .= wp_list_pages('title_li=&include='.$child->ID.'&echo=0');
		}
		$tabs .= '</ul></li>';
	}
}

froman118 you must be a hero at this forum by fixing these annoying issues.
Unfortunately I am having the same issue, My Page Order displays fine in the backend but not in the frontend. My template is designed in Artisteer,

I tried the instruction here but seems like I don’t see the same code on my header.php.

Please help!

Thanks
