v2.3 and Multi Post-Type Sorting

thanks for starting a new thread, it makes easier for others to find it.

firstly thank you for this plugin. It is helping us a lot.

wonderful, so leave a review when you have a moment.

But I have an issue with the version 2.3 where sorting within a category with multiple post-types should work, right?

yes

Somehow in the sorting screen (under “Reorder” of a post-type) only posts of that specific post-type appear in the grid.

correct, as designed.

Do I have to activate a specific option to activate the sorting for multi-post-types?

nope. Under each post-type menu you will have a sub-menu reorder page for you to tank the posts within each taxonomy term.

Even though the terms are used to classify 2 different posts, each ranking gorder are preserved and loaded on the front-end as per the posts you query.

no, currently it is not possible, but I don’t understand why you want to do this.

Why have separate post-types if you are going to display them concurrently?

Furthermore, it would require a custom admin page to mix both post-types from a common term to sort manually…a scenario very unique.

The reason I want to do this is because I have widgets on my frontpage that shows articles (I have different post types for different kind of articles) of a specific category. The same goes for the archive page of such category which will contain multiple post-types obviously.

if I may give you a piece of advice, I reckon your logic is flawed. Instead of multiple posts with the same taxonomy you should really look at single post with multiple taxonomies. WordPress content management is inherently designed using that logic.

Your approach will make it very difficult to find plugins (tools) to ease maintenance of this type of content management.

Either way, thank you for your help.

most welcome, good luck!

I am marking this as resolved.
