* Hello,
* I’ve created some of category and subcategory in my website.
The default is
to display the category **under each video** (class=”aiovg-link-category” is
by alphabet. On category pages, I found how to change it by count instead of
the alphabet. But in all the rest I didn’t.
* Thanks

* Aah. Sorry, the category links displayed under each video doesn’t respond to
the categories ordering set in the plugin’s settings page. I promise our next
version can do this. Please be patient.

* And I can’t do that on the server-side? I’m a programmer

* You simply need to edit the following template files,
* ```
/wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-video-gallery/public/templates/video-thumbnail.php
/wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-video-gallery/public/templates/video-thumbnail-image-left.php
/wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-video-gallery/public/templates/single-video.php
```
* You may see that our template files use “get_the_terms” function from WordPress
to get the categories. Simply follow the tutorial here [https://www.yukei.net/2016/04/use-get_the_terms-instead-of-wp_get_object_terms/](https://www.yukei.net/2016/04/use-get_the_terms-instead-of-wp_get_object_terms/)
that provides the exact steps to change the ordering of the categories.
* Hope, this helped you!

* Hi,
Sorry for my messages but there is a problem with the function that you
provide.
* This is my code now. Do you recognize my error?
* ```
// using get_the_terms()
$categories = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'aiovg_categories' );
// $popular_terms will be ordered alphabetically, so let's order by count
$categories = usort( $categories, function( $a, $b ){
if ( $a->count < $b->count ) {
return 1;
}
if ( $a->count > $b->count ) {
return -1;
}
return 0;
} );
// we only need slugs, so...
$categories = wp_list_pluck( $categories, 'names' );
if ( ! empty( $categories ) ) {
$meta = array();
foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
$category_url = aiovg_get_category_page_url( $category );
$meta[] = sprintf( '%s', esc_url( $category_url ), esc_html( $category->name ) );
}
printf( ' %s
', implode( ', ', $meta ) );
}
```
* I got these errors:
1. Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /
home/media/public_html/materials/wp-includes/class-wp-list-util.php on line 148
* 2.

* Kindly remove all your code and simply replace the following line,
* `$categories = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'aiovg_categories' );`
* as
* ```
$categories = wp_get_object_terms( get_the_ID(), 'aiovg_categories', array(
'orderby' => 'count',
'order' => 'DESC'
));
```
* Hope, this solved your issue!
