Sorting FAQ Items

Never mind, they pointed me in the right direction by telling me that I had to change the files “pro-shortcode.php” and “pro-faq-grid-shortcode.php”.

Here are the instructions for modifying the Pro version 1.1.2.
These changes will allow you to set the sort order of the FAQ items in the backend by using the “Attributes” pane on the righthand side of the page where you edit the FAQ.

Edit pro-shortcode.php:
file: wp-content -> plugins -> wp-faq-pro -> pro -> pro-shortcode.php
line: 111
change

$orderby = ‘post_date’;

to

$orderby = ‘menu_order’;

Line: 112
change $order = ‘DESC’;
to $order = ‘ASC’;

Edit pro-faq-grid-shortcode.php:
file: wp-content -> plugins -> wp-faq-pro -> pro -> pro-faq-grid-shortcode.php
line: 88
change

$orderby = ‘post_date’;

to

$orderby = ‘menu_order’;

line: 89
change

$order = ‘DESC’;

to

$order = ‘ASC’;

line: 149
change

$orderby = ‘post_date’;

to

$orderby = ‘menu_order’;

line: 150
change

$order = ‘DESC’;

to

$order = ‘ASC’;

Edit faq.php:
file: wp-content -> plugins -> wp-faq-pro -> faq.php
line 93:
change

‘supports’ => array(‘title’,’editor’,’thumbnail’,’excerpt’)

to

‘supports’ => array(‘title’,’editor’,’thumbnail’,’excerpt’,’page-attributes’)

…well that’s quite involved. Maybe one for the forthcoming features list??? The lack of this feature (and ‘search’) is the only thing putting me off the plug-in.

Thanks for sharing, though.

Hello,

We are still working on this plugin and testing with many themes. Will add all these option in the parameter as well as in the editor side.

Thanks
