Having the same issue, seems events in future 404 – [The Events Calendar] Review | www.remarpro.com had it too. Refreshing permalinks did fix it indeed, but seems the latest update made stuff funky.

This is an incompatibility with the new block widget editor. If you install the Classic Widgets plugin and enable it, the dropdown will function properly.

Okay, so, if I change to a custom taxonomy instead of the built in “categories”, it shows fine, and the only ID that shows in the SQL query is the parent ID. So there’s some issue with the “category” taxonomy…

Just tried it in vanilla Twenty Twenty-One, same basic issue:

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS cpdm_posts.ID
FROM cpdm_posts
LEFT JOIN cpdm_term_relationships
ON (cpdm_posts.ID = cpdm_term_relationships.object_id)
WHERE 1=1
AND ( cpdm_term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id IN (185,186,187,188,189,190,191,192,193,194,195,196,197,198,199,200,201,806,9008) )
AND cpdm_posts.post_type = 'post'
AND (cpdm_posts.post_status = 'publish'
OR cpdm_posts.post_status = 'private')
GROUP BY cpdm_posts.ID
ORDER BY cpdm_posts.post_date DESC
LIMIT 0, 10

Some additional info, after further research with Query Monitor. The issue appears to come down to this query:

SELECT t.*, tt.*
FROM cpdm_terms AS t
INNER JOIN cpdm_term_taxonomy AS tt
ON t.term_id = tt.term_id
WHERE tt.taxonomy IN ('category')
AND t.term_id IN ( 185,186,187,188,189,190,191,192,193,194,195,196,197,198,199,200,201,806,9008 )

Of those category IDs, only 185-193 are actually children of 9008, the rest are other categories (none of which are related to 9008 in any way). This is, however, the correct quantity of child categories. In reality, 177-193 and 801 are the children of 9008. So, somehow, it’s choosing to pull the wrong categories in…

Ah, yes, true – I’ve got another extension that sets one category as “primary”, forgot that it wasn’t part of the main one :/ Thanks though! The plugin is awesome, and I’m looking at going Pro ??

Hi sungraiz, this does not answer the question posed. The original poster (as well as myself) are looking for a way to alphabetically list the FAQs.

For example, let’s say the following is currently shown:

* Pear
* Apple
* Pineapple
* Banana

Is there any way to make it go:

* Apple
* Banana
* Pear
* Pineapple

It appears that the default sorting shows newest FAQs on top, but this isn’t always the most useful.
