Currently the plugin puts the sub categories on the top of the list above all others </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/256944#post-1256782 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:28:11 +0000 Big dave 1256782@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Dankelly613 - I noticed you refered to the my-category-order WP plugin and not <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/order-categories/">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/order-categories/</a>, which seems to work according to what others are saying, although it does not state that it is updated. You may want to try this. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/303844#post-1210421 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 18:48:43 +0000 TheAnalyzer 1210421@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Thanks for the reassurance guys. Been using it for a while now and agree that it seems to work no problemo in 2.8.4<br /> . . as long as you do not have sub-categories.</p> <p>Anybody know how to make sub-categories nest?</p> <p>I notice that the author, Wesley, does not appear to support it any longer - at least he does not respond to recent comments on the support page and appears to have lost interest. That is a shame, because it is a much-needed plugin and WP do not rate this requirement. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/303844#post-1194130 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:47:51 +0000 websafepl 1194130@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Works great. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/303844#post-1185880 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 10:46:59 +0000 perthmetro 1185880@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Works with 2.8.4</p> <p>that's all</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/order-categories/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/order-categories/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/256944#post-1165384 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 15:20:26 +0000 gomissmo 1165384@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>My Category Order DOES NOT WORK in the latest version of WP (2.8.3).</p> <p>BAD!

"My Category Order" worked on it's own widget, but not on the regular one and, more importantly, not on my category menu at the top of my blog.</p> <p>If I'm going to install a plugin, I don't want to have to edit my WP code to get it to work... That's WHY I'm installing a plugin. ;-) </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/256944#post-1028899 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 22:31:09 +0000 dankelly613 1028899@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>EDIT...</p> <p>Plugin is "My Category Order" found here - <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/my-category-order/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/my-category-order/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/256944#post-1028895 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 22:28:59 +0000 dankelly613 1028895@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I just installed it... reordered my categories... refreshed my blog (three times)... nothing changed... not the sidebar "category" widget... not the menu of categories at the top. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/247259#post-1014555 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 15:50:11 +0000 MichaelH 1014555@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>apopilot - with My Category Order you have to specify the "orderby=order" argument with <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages">wp_list_pages()</a> or use the My Category Order Widget. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/247259#post-998043 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 18:50:37 +0000 apopilot 998043@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Thanks the first one worked.

And explain in which order you do want them. Basically you need to edit <code>wp_list_categories()</code> This has three options: order alphabetically, by the category id or by the number of posts in that category. If none of those options is what you want you will need to write a custom function. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/245875#post-992903 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 19:33:12 +0000 theebc 992903@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi, I'm new at blogging. The categories I used are in an alphabetical listing, of which I do not want. I want them to be in the order I want, similar to my web page. Can anybody explain to me how to do this in simple English language?</p> <p>Thank you </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242394#post-983069 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 21:23:57 +0000 froman118 983069@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Depending if you are using widgets or not you either</p> <p>1. Replace the Categories widget with the My Category Order widget</p> <p>or</p> <p>2. Change you wp_list_categories() call to use "orderby=order".</p> <p>That's it. In blic's case it probably wouldn't work with a third party category dropdown plugin, but it would work if he used the built in wp_dropdown_categories function or enabled the "Show as Drop Down" option in the My Link Order widget. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242394#post-983052 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 21:15:24 +0000 blic 983052@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Thanks again! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242394#post-983003 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 20:30:52 +0000 MichaelH 983003@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>do77 said to froman118:</p> <blockquote><p>But it would be good to know what this extra step is!?! </p></blockquote> <p>Good question, I wondered that myself after quickly looking at the plugin and not really seeing the answer...</p> <p>@blic<br /> do77 speaks truth...so see <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories">wp_list_categories()</a> for details </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/242394#post-982950 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 19:55:24 +0000 do77 982950@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>with 'exlude=catID&#38; [...]' </p>
