Categories in wrong order – ID

There are no categories shown on that webpage.
Only posts from one single category, namely category ID#=1. The URI shows it clearly.

If you meant that your posts are not listed in the order you want them… well, that’s how it works: when ordering by numbers you should have a 0 (zero) in front of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 – like 01, 02, etc.

“You mentioned adding a “0”, but I don’t no how to change the ID number?“

moshu was referring to the numbers in the titles of your posts. That is change:

# 2BB-2 – Episode 2 – Son Coming Soon!

to

# 2BB-02 – Episode 02 – Son Coming Soon!

Then what method is being used to sort posts on your category pages?

Normally posts are sorted by post date in decending order, but apparently yours are not.

Things to look at:

1. Are you using a plugin that lets you change it? One of our favorites around here is Custom Query String. If you’re running this, the admin panel for it will be under Options > CQS.

2. Are you using query_posts() or an equivalent to generate the posts list? This can be checked by looking at the source of the theme template used for your categories.

Problem here is, we won’t necessarily know *which* template is the specific one to look at, because a feature known as ‘template hierarchy’ lets a query type (say category) inherit various templates depending on which ones are available in a theme.

I won’t go into the technical aspects of this (because they’re boring!), so let’s cut to chase… I did a bit of ‘dipping’ in your active theme’s directory, and found you have the standard Category template (category.php). So that’s a good place to start.

If you need help looking over your category.php, you can paste up the source here:

and reply back with the url to it.

EDIT: This thread really doesn’t belong in Installation, so I’m moving it to How-To and Troubleshooting…

Hmm. Time to put on my Sherlock Holmes deerstalker.

First, there’s nothing in the template that points to a culprit. You wouldn’t even be able to use query_posts(), which does not work with the old post loop format the template has:

foreach ($posts as $post)

And there’s the if statement making a call to is_full(), which is not an internal WP function. It ties in with the inclusion of the full.php (whatever that is) template if is_full() returns true. I can’t tell you what that means because I don’t know what’s providing the function, and what it relates to.

This is not to say any of this has anything to do with the sort order issue on your category pages. However, without a fuller accounting of what your blog is set up with, they’re all clues.

What wp version are we dealing with here?
