OK, so if I remove all refs to wpostmeta3.meta_value including orderby, I get an ascending alpha list on post title

Doesn’t return any results at all. Just had a look in the database at the ‘price’ field in wp_postmeta; price meta_value type is ‘long text’ – should it be numeric? Or is that just a red herring?

Thanks, vtxyzzy, good thought but not applicable here as the price is just a number. Wondering whether I should explicitly cast it as a floating point before it hits the database? Grasping at straws though…

Thanks again for your input

Aaaah of course, I am a fool, thank you so much!!

Presumably you’d have to use the rollback plugin to manage all your updates, so it could ‘snapshot’ the site pre-update.

Actually very difficult to test an update fully before rolling it out. Who has the time or inclination (or exhaustive testplan) to test every permutation/potential interaction? What would be *really* useful would be a plugin that tested it for you. Preferably before you updated…

Heartily seconded; I’ve lost track of the times WP updates have broken a site. One-click rollback, bring it on!

Thanks for getting back to me, Luc. Actually found a way of making eShop work in multisite, so going with that ??

Best of luck, Jim

How did you fix this in the end? I have the same problem….

Sorry, forget that, still half asleep |-)

Filezilla can’t find these files – do you have a path?

Thanks

Just to close this – problem solved with a child theme found here

I didn’t realise it was default behaviour – a feature, not a bug! – and hence my searches here and on Google were badly phrased.

Many thanks for your swift and patient assistance!

Many thanks, will follow up on those
