Problem with sidebar on archive page

Hi,

Some of your pages are not there anymore. I am having a hard time following what you are trying to do, I am sorry. Can you explain or better yet illustrate what you want to accomplish.

Thanks,

Nick

Hi,

Your menu is too big. I am on a laptop 1360×768, and i can only see the top 2 menu items – API & Authentication – on your bottom most menu on the right. What’s worse is that because your menu immediately scrolls down as i scroll down , I never have an opportunity to click all the links below the first two

Create an array of id’s that you put in the order you want and use the array instead. Here is

global $post_ids;



$post_ids = array(56, 4, 66, 34, 56, 6);



$args = array(



'post__in' => $post_ids // should be an array



'numberposts' => 6



);



add_filter('posts_orderby', 'you_best_be_keepin_order'); // add the filter function to order posts in our given order



$posts = get_posts($args);



remove_filter('posts_orderby', 'you_best_be_keepin_order'); // remove the filter as we get our posts



// filter function

function you_best_be_keepin_order() {



global $post_ids, $wpdb;



$post_ids = implode(',', $post_ids); // we made the post ids a string where post ids are separated by comma



return "FIND_IN_SET(".$wpdb->posts.".ID, '".$post_ids."') ASC"; // FIND_IN_SET is used to get posts in proper order

}

Thanks,

Hi,

How about changing the order here, where it is listed on each page, just put a number from 0 to 10 in the pages you want to show up in that order on the menu. http://www.clipular.com/c?8773013=ejLuixQyAyFAh7D4iLLaeK_y99I&f=.png

Hi,

A blog post by definition can be ordered by date, by author, by tag, by category, by title, by id or randomly. You want them ordered in a specific way that are outside the parameters of what a blog post is capable of. You can delete your posts, and enter them again this time in the order you want from last to first , and since blog posts are normally ordered by date, that is how they will be displayed. You can create a custom menu and set the order of posts in that menu and display it as a widget. I have no idea what you are trying to achieve as an end result so there is not much I can suggest, but to me it seems you are trying to use posts as though they were pages.

Thanks,

Hi,

Please update both to 1.71 which is the current version.

If you need to document differences between two old versions of the theme you can use http://www.winmerge.org to get a line by line differences when comparing any two folders. Compare 1.1 folder to 1.6 folder and you will see every single difference between them. Then its a matter of trial and error of changing one block of code in 1.6 at a time (degrading it to 1.1) until you hit the line of code that changes the order of the menu items.

Your request in my opinion is outside the scope of the support team , however there are many freelance developers available to help you find the answer (if you do not wish to update both to 1.71 thereby resolving your issue).

Thanks,

Nick

Hi,

I spend 1/2 hour and finally see what you are talking about. Sorry about that. I am looking into this now.

Recent Posts Widget is a WordPress Core Plugin that is automatically added so there is not one line of code about it in the theme.. My suggestion is to reinstall WordPress itself since there is no way for Recent Posts Widget to display pages instead of posts unless your core WordPress install has problems or you’ve edited core wordpress files.

I tried to replicate your error, and thought I did but no, since one of your widgets shows only blog posts while the second widget shows only pages. For me categories show the same Recent Posts as any other post or page on the website.

Can you update to WordPress Core 3.52 or you customized it?

Thanks,

Nick
