# Order plugins under blog

 * I have two plugins under my single blogposts:
 * First it shows the “Custom About Author” (author information) plugin and underneath
   that, the “Sociable” plugin (with the social media icons).
 * I want to change the order of those plugins, so that “Sociable” displays direct
   after the blog text…
    Can anyone help me please?

 * Probably can help, do you have a link to both plugins? It’s just to make sure
   the right ones are looked at.

 * It’s these two plugins.

 * The Custom About Author plugin sets it’s `add_filter()` priority to 0 which bumps
   it up to the top of the queued up filters.
 * That’s just rude. 😉
 * Rather than editing that plugin, use another plugin which will just remove their
   filter and re-add it with a priority that puts it _after_ Sociable.
 * Create a file in `wp-content/plugins` called `move-custom-about-author.php` and
   copy these lines into that file.
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
       Plugin Name: Move Custom About Author Down!
       */
       remove_filter( 'the_content', 'caa_append_custom_author_bio', 0 );
       add_filter( 'the_content', 'caa_append_custom_author_bio', 15 );
       ```
   
 * The Pastebin link is here [http://pastebin.com/mZ6uQmG4](http://pastebin.com/mZ6uQmG4)
 * After you save this new plugin, go to your dashboard and activate it. It’s the
   one called “Move Custom About Author Down!”
 * That will remove the `add_filter()` that the plugin uses and then re-add a new
   filter. Giving it a priority of 15 means it will run after Sociable.
 * Sociable doesn’t specify the priority, so it gets the default priority of 10 
   and will run first.
 * The result of this is that the Sociable icons display right after the post text
   followed by the custom about author box.
