Those who use it rely on it big time. * I am having a problem with it on one site. It doesn’t work with a commercial theme called [X](http://theme.co/x/?gclid=Cj0KEQiAqqO0BRDyo8mkv9y259EBEiQApVQD_QHBBS2Isf1AYDDkiF7qDyB34dxt3EdX89T_awdoVNUaAhAn8P8HAQ) * It doesn’t seem to save its settings when used on that site. I can drag the items around to reorder them, but they don’t stick. Any ideas why? * Plugin Author [Aurovrata Venet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aurovrata/) * (@aurovrata) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maintaining-updating-this-plugin/#post-6816743) * Hi Tracy * my guess is some jquery conflict. Could you inspect the page (Firebug or other) and switch on the Javascript error reporting on the Console and reload the page. See if you get any jquery/javascript errors. * It very much sounds like the jquery is acting buggy. * Let me know what you find. * [mikecron](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikecron/) * (@mikecron) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maintaining-updating-this-plugin/#post-6816768) * Aurovrata — just wanted to thank you for picking up on the development of this plugin. It’s been one of the better plugins for post reordering and an important part of many of our sites. We were crestfallen when it stopped working properly a while back. * Your version works great — **thank you!** * Plugin Author [Aurovrata Venet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aurovrata/) * (@aurovrata) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maintaining-updating-this-plugin/#post-6816769) * Hi Mike, thank you for the kinds words 🙂 * [anychanh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anychanh/) * (@anychanh) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maintaining-updating-this-plugin/#post-6816777) * Hi Aurovrata, thanks for your updates. * I have a small issue, please help me fix it. I have a parent category and its child. When I choose parent category, it loaded all posts from parent cate and its child. I just want to reorder parent category and its posts, not from child category. * Please take a look at it. Thanks Aurovrata 🙂 * Plugin Author [Aurovrata Venet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aurovrata/) * (@aurovrata) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maintaining-updating-this-plugin/#post-6816778) * HI Anychanh * thanks for bringing this to everyone’s notice. * Category term children inclusion is a [WordPress default behaviour](https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Taxonomy_Parameters). As such I am reluctant to force the plugin to go against the expected behaviour of WP, hence I have instead introduced a filter where you can modify the admin post retrieval query. [Version 1.2.1 on GitHub](https://github.com/aurovrata/ReOrder-posts-within-categories/releases/tag/v1.2.1) has the newly added filter, along with an example as to how to use it. * [anychanh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anychanh/) * (@anychanh) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maintaining-updating-this-plugin/#post-6816779) * It work like a charm, thank you so much Aurovrata. * Just a little question. When I move site to another hosting, all re-order was reseted, I have to re-order again. May you know how to backup or the way to keep all re-order things? * Plugin Author [Aurovrata Venet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aurovrata/) * (@aurovrata) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maintaining-updating-this-plugin/#post-6816780) * You have to copy your entire database to do so. Use a plugin such as [Duplicator](https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/) to transfer your site. * [anychanh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anychanh/) * (@anychanh) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maintaining-updating-this-plugin/#post-6816781) * Thank you so much Mr. Aurovrata 🙂 * [anychanh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anychanh/) * (@anychanh) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maintaining-updating-this-plugin/#post-6816782) * Mr. Aurovrata * Query category normally which re-ordered, it’s out re-ordered. It’s fanstastic. Old version can not do that. * But when I query category orderby Random, it’s still out re-order. How to random category? * Plugin Author [Aurovrata Venet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aurovrata/) * (@aurovrata) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maintaining-updating-this-plugin/#post-6816783) * I don’t understand what you mean by out re-ordered. * What do you mean by * > when I query category orderby Random, it’s still out re-order. * are you trying to impose a random order using the filter? * The plugin allows for manual ordering of post in the category that you have enabled the plugin on. * If you wish to have some posts ordered manually and other posts ordered randomly, I suggest that you create a custom taxonomy for the later. Posts that need to be ordered randomly will need to be assigned a term in this custom taxonomy. Do not enable the plugin on this custom taxonomy. Build custom queries for this taxonomy using `orderby->rand`.
