Archive for the 'WordPress' Category

I’ve recently updated my WordPress install form an old unsupported development branch to the new one and found that the Category listing is now printed in Alphabetical order instead of the old ID based old method.

I have to say that I personally prefer the old ID sorting mode, it’s better suited to my own blog needing, so I browsed the codex and the forum to find a solution to put it back to the previous mode.
I found a couple of plugins that can do the trick but they’re not the way I was looking for.
Then I found this a very simple method by MichaelH; it only needs a small change editing one of the WordPress files and it works like a charm on every versions, as far as I can say.

Here it is:
open the “category-template.php” file
change
usort($categories, '_usort_terms_by_name');
to
usort($categories, '_usort_terms_by_ID');

The complete article is available here: the_category sort by ID

You can find that your own Blog is suffering some Feeds problems after updating to a newer WordPress version.
I’ve been able to resolve them, as far as I know, using this simple procedure.

How to fix it

• don’t insert withe/empty lines at the start end of confing and functions files; functions is a Theme specific file; check if you have one in your own Theme folder.
• go to all plugins that have an option-page and update them saving again their own settings.
• go to Settings and save again every section.
• refresh Permalinks.

Hope it helps!
