Hi,
I’m running a theater site on WordPress and the Enfold theme, and I can’t get the articles to display in a chosen order without using the trick of changing the publication date.
I’d like to use the dates stored in an ACF field to generate the order of these events.
Thank you,
Regards
PMP
Hey Pierre-Marie,
Thank you for your patience, but unfortunately we are not experienced with ACF.
I found this thread at stackexchange.com that may help you, but sense we don’t work with ACF I don’t have a way to test it. I recommend asking ACF support to assist you or hire a freelancer to assist.
We are limited in supporting third-party plugins, thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
Mike
Ok you don’t use ACF but you know what is the function for sorting the post.
For exemple this works for the grid list:
`// hook for layout grid only
add_filter(‘avia_post_slide_query’, ‘avia_modify_post_grid_query_desc’);
function avia_modify_post_grid_query_desc( $query ) {
$query[‘orderby’] = ‘meta_value’; // to order on meta values
$query[‘meta_key’] = ‘event_date’; // id of the custom date field
$query[‘order’] = ‘ASC’;
return $query;
}
So we just have to find the query for the avia post nav function.
Hi,
The post nav doesn’t have a query, WordPress sets the order for the loop, try using the Post Types Order plugin it was recommend in this article as best for Custom Post Types.
Best regards,
Mike
