 * Hi
    I have a problem on my site. I have three plugins that show after content
   which is easy social share, facebook comments and similar articles from the theme
   panel. As you can see on [http://techsmessage.com/wearable-tech-4k-really-need/](http://techsmessage.com/wearable-tech-4k-really-need/)
   it shows it in the order social, comment, similar articles. I want it to show
   social, similar articles and then comments, how do i do this?

 * They are probably showing in the order they appear in your admin panel “Plugins”
   page.
 * When a WordPress page is rendered (put together for final output); WordPress 
   goes through the list of plugins; and adds any hooks or filters in the order 
   they are found (alphabetically).
 * **Using Priority Parameter**
    The developers, when hooking to ‘the_content()’,
   can set a priority number as the third argument of the action call.
 * So you get something like `add_action('the_content', 'test_function', 100)`.
 * [[More Info](http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API#Hook_to_WordPress)]
 * **Manual Workaround**
    If you know the name of the function used in the action
   hook; you can write a function in your [child theme](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   to 1) Remove the action hook, 2) Re-Fire the action hook with the third argument
   added.
 * So, if your Easy Social Share is using `easy_social_content’ as the action hook
   name hooked to “the_content” filter; we could do this:
 *     ```
       remove_action('the_content', 'easy_social_content');
       add_action('the_content', 'easy_social_content', 100);
       ```
   
 * Do this for each of the three plugins; and change the priority argument to be
   the sequence you wish them to appear.
 * Since a child theme code is executed last (after the theme and after all plugins
   are loaded)… this code will execute last… and will give you the order you desire.
 * Good Luck 🙂
    Lemme know how you do.
