Hello Alan,

Sorry for the late response, sort by date parameter was added specially to solve this kind of issues, you can check one of my websites where I’m using it: 8elite.com, however, it seems it isn’t working as expected. I’m adding this to my issues tracker.

Just in case, this is the shortcode I’m using on 8elite.com:

[nlposts titleonly=false
   ignore_blog=1,7
   paginate=true
   posts_per_page=4
   full_meta=true
   display_type=block
   sort_by_date=true
]

Hi, there’s an undocumented parameter which could help you solve this issue: use_pub_date when set to TRUE it will pick publication date instead of update date. Network Latest Posts picks update date by default so every time a post is updated it’ll be put on top of the list. To use set the parameter like this:

[nlposts ...other parameters... use_pub_date=true]

I hope this helps.

Cheers.

Hello @rchan, sorry for the late response. The use_pub_date and honor_sticky are two parameters provided as a patch which haven’t been added to this version just yet. I’m currently working on the next major release (v4.0) which has been delayed due to a really busy schedule.

However, if you want to test, I’ve uploaded the patched version here: Network Latest Posts v3.5.5 (unreleased patch), just download the file and replace the current one in /wp-content/plugins/nlposts/. Then you can use it like this:

[nlposts ..other parameters... use_pub_date=true]

I’ll do my best to finish the next version as soon as possible. Until then, please try with this one instead. Thank you for your patience and for hanging there.

Best regards,
José SAYAGO.
