handers

thnks Jim – yes, I was in touch with the host: nothing wrong there (and again: IE works fine); I’m sure there’s something in the interaction between FF and WP – of course, if I should find any solution I’ll share that

this is the return:

?Authorization Required
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn’t understand how to supply the credentials required.?

like I said, I’ve tried every cookie-setting I could think of, but keep getting this return – also erased index.sqlite-file from the OfflineCache in the browser, to no avail;

I haven’t used WordPress for a while, so I’m not sure if the problem occured after an update of FF or of WP; though what I found sofar online the problem is not new, none of the solutions however seemed to work – as said, access works fine in Opera, Chrome and IE – mostly I use an older, portable version of PaleMoon-browser (in which the problem occurred for the first time) – so I’m thinking it’s after the most recent update from WP

excellent, that works fine indeed;

after installing the plugin is found under Settings->CustomPostOrder and allows the order to define from as Date, Title, Author, LastModified or PostName (the post slug) and then to choose from each category individually, to ascend or descend, just as I wanted;

thank you so much!

I’m not sure why there’s no reaction anymore – sofar I’ve updated the Station theme to 2.1.2. and tried again the code above the loop, but that returned even a more messy result than in the old one (meanwhile I’ve switched back to version 1.2.1.)

like I’ve stated before I’m willing to abandon the station-theme for another, should that provide a better result in displaying reverse order in specific categories

I’d hate to get rid of WordPress altogether, because it has so many positive features, but I do need to display a story I’m working on in the correct chronological order (which is oldest first)
I’m still hoping that can be done with the help of the editor (and without a separate course in php-coding)

sorry, there is no functions.php

no, 8 is not a subcategory;

before I started this discussion I tried following on the _pagecontent.php:
<?php if (is_category(array(4,43))){
query_posts($query_string . “&order=ASC”);} ?>
above this line:
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

and that gave no result whatsoever

thanks again for all your trouble;

theme-version is 1.2.1. & I would not dare alter the code – I know nothing about php; I’ve never updated the theme (if any update should have been made available) – I do like the design & functions as is;

sorry, I do not detect a “functions.php” template which can be edited through the editor;

not sure how paste-bin works, but I pasted the content of the _posts.php under this link:

thanks again for your answer;

something happened allright: I have also a category id=8 – when I pasted the code you offered into the _posts.php-template

(like this quote:

[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

both categories 4 and 43 displayed category 8, and that was in reverse order.

I conclude the beginning’s there, though I’d highly appreciate some more help

thanks for your reply;

I use the free version of Station – apparently one has to pay to join their forums, which is something I cannot afford;

neither “category.php” nor “archive.php”, or anything that looks like it, is listed in the possibilities to edit – sofar I’ve not been able to detect which template (if any) is responsible for the individual posts to be “categorised” – I’ve looked at the files on the server, but they are even more abracadabra to me…

I’m even willing to abandon “Station” for a lookalike, if that solves my problem, although I do like the design

thank you for your response alicethetic

that does the trick indeed – I hadn’t noticed the tags-section on “Right now” at all! & it took me a wile to figure out that erasing the set of tags does not actually destroy the message it is attached to – very helpful, thanks again!
