I think it might get the pagination info from some other source as I have tried also with 'posts_per_page', 100 but still there were only 20/page.

Cheers,

Adam

do not use query_posts() to change a main query,

use ‘pre_get_posts’ https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/pre_get_posts

Hi,

I am not sure if I have done it correctly as it does not work: the whole page says Server error 500…

I updated the part you suggested in my category-9 file like this:

<?php if (is_category()) { $posts = query_posts($query_string . '&orderby=title&order=asc'); } ?>

Then updated my functions.php, tried two versions:

a) added your code instead of the existing “pre_get_posts” section
b) added your code before the existing “pre_get_posts” section

Below is the full original file, if it is of any help.

Thank you very much.

Hello & thanks for the pointer! I will have a look at home and paste the code if I cannot figure out myself.

I had no idea I should look for it in another file.

Thank you,

Adam

Solved!

I have just found the option “Photocount threshold” – if I set it to 1 (default) then I can move 1 picture to the folder that will act as a cover but unseen. Very clever 🙂

Cheers,

Adam

Thank you! Looks like it was an easy one 🙂

Adam

Sorry I have not seen the updates – folders can be put in categories. Thank you!!! I will update and try immediately.

Thank you! I will ask my friend about the plugin details.

I have my files on the server yet as the webpage is 5 years old, so instead of uploading I just copied them to “wp-content/uploads/photos” and into several subfolders (I ‘ve thought I can import from there).

So instead, I should copy my photo folders to “wp-content/wppa-depot/Admin”?
