Thanks for the great review! Glad we got your site working with the plugin!

Awesome, glad its working for you now.

I will attempt to add the features you requested, but not sure exactly when I can get to it. Watch for a plugin update over the next couple weeks and I’ll see if I can get it added in.

Marking thread as resolved!

I’m reverting my example link back to the original theme now that I have tested with yours and corrected the issue with your theme. If I don’t hear back in a day or so I’ll mark this as resolved.

Got it figured out. The theme is missing a function in footer.php. Many plugins require wp_footer() to be included in footer.php. My plugin is one of them. You can read about the function in the WordPress Codex. My plugin enqueues its script inthe footer via wp_footer(), so if that is gone from the theme then the jQuery will not be loaded. I very rarely see a theme without this, so this theme is definitely outdated. It was released over 6 years ago and probably hasn’t been updated.

You can open your footer.php file and place this: <?php wp_footer(); ?> right before the closing </body>. This should fix the issue for you.

This will not fix the random <code> tag that you see, as I have no idea where that is coming from, but can assure you its not from the Simple Sorter plugin. Let me know if you have any other issues with it.

It’s definitely an issue with the theme. Have a look here: build.andywarren1.com/simple-sorter.

I will see if I can figure out the issue today and reply again as soon as I do.

You’re welcome, glad I could help. I think you’re right on the default value, I will update it again as soon as I get a chance. I should build in some translations too!

What theme are you using? If its a free publicly available theme I can install it and test it myself.

Please screenshot the page editor that you have the plugin shortcode on.

Can you send me a login to the WordPress backend? You can email it here.

The <code> tags are not being output by the plugin though, I believe something in your theme is doing that. The Simple Sorter plugin does not have a single <code> tag in any code that would render on the frontend of the site.

You also do have a JS error on the page: TypeError: x.easing[this.easing] is not a function. This could be causing the plugin to not work correctly, but I’d like to log in and take a look at how you are using the plugin, so please send me a login to the WordPress install.

Please send me a link to the page where you’re having the issues.

Please elaborate some so I can try to help you or fix any bugs in the plugin. What exactly is happening? Can you show me a page where you’re experiencing the issue? Thanks, and I’ll watch for your reply.

Just realized I wrote out the new shortcode attribute wrong in my previous post to this thread. The correct way to write it would be as follows:

showsubheader="no" to hide the subheader, or leave the attribute off completely to show the subheader.

If I don’t hear back from you in a couple days I’ll go ahead and mark the support thread as resolved.

I went ahead and added the feature you requested. Please update the plugin to the latest version and let me know if you need help with anything else.

There is a new shortcode attribute called 'showsubheader' => 'no' that you can use to hide the new subheader. Leave the attribute off completely to show the subheader.

The subheader will output like this: Category: Example Category Name – Year: 20XX

Thanks for the 5 star review! I appreciate the feedback and hope the plugin accomplishes your goals!

I advise against modifying the plugin as it will be overwritten if an update to the plugin is released.

In order to dynamically output a subtitle based on which year is showing I’d have add some code to the plugin. I will try to do this soon, but as the plugin stands right now the functionality isn’t built into it. It wouldn’t be in the WP_Query() as that is just how WordPress retrieves the posts from the database.

Can you send me a link to the page you’re working on? If you don’t want it public you can email it here. I’ll take a look at your layout and see if I can fit a subtitle into the code that may fit the big picture for all users.
