Works on pages and custom post types, but not posts

I have the same question. I don’t have that many posts, but it doesn’t work on posts for me. Is that intentional? Thanks.

Hi @bennymcl and @kld53,

This plugin doesn’t work with regular posts out-of-the-box. It only woks with pages, hierarchical custom post types, or custom post types with “page-attributes” by default.

However, if you check out the FAQ page, the first question/answer offers a code snippet as a possible solution.

It says:

Why can’t I reorder my posts?
Generic posts are not displayed by menu order – they’re displayed by chronology. You can theoretically add menu ordering to posts in your code (theme functions.php, plug-in) by using:

add_post_type_support( 'post', 'page-attributes' );

I’d recommend creating a backup before trying it out but if do you give it a go, let us know how it went.

Hope this helps!
