If you install Blockfold theme it automatically downloads the Kadence theme. Can anyone tell how this is done? The child theme is not Kadence-child.

This is the custom function I have been using. I have it on other sites. So its strange just the one category does not load by default by date order. We also changed the title to “popularity” but really its date order.

function woocommerce_product_sort( $woocommerce_sort_orderby ) {

$woocommerce_sort_orderby = str_replace("Default sorting", "Product Sorting", $woocommerce_sort_orderby);

    return $woocommerce_sort_orderby;

    }

    add_filter( 'woocommerce_catalog_orderby', 'woocommerce_product_sort' );
    add_filter( 'woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby_options', 'woocommerce_product_sort' );

 
// Modify the default WooCommerce orderby dropdown
//https://www.speakinginbytes.com/2016/05/customize-woocommerce-sorting-dropdown/

// Options: menu_order, popularity, rating, date, price, price-desc

// In this example I'm changing the default "Sort by newness" to "Sort by date: newest to oldest"

function patricks_woocommerce_catalog_orderby( $orderby ) {
	
$orderby_value = isset( $_GET['orderby'] ) ? wc_clean( $_GET['orderby'] ) : apply_filters( 'woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby', get_option( 'woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby' ) );
	

	$orderby["date"] = __('Sort by Popularity', 'woocommerce');
	unset($orderby["price"]);
	unset($orderby["price-desc"]);
	unset($orderby["rating"]);
	unset($orderby["popularity"]);
	return $orderby;

}

add_filter( "woocommerce_catalog_orderby", "patricks_woocommerce_catalog_orderby", 20 );

If anyone wants to look at this theme its here https://wordpress.org/themes/blockfold/ I contacted the developer. I have never seen a theme that required another theme but not set up as a traditional child theme.

Seems like it works if I make a child of that theme that based on the other theme. I tried changing the footer to test it. So it seems you just have to have Theme 1 and Theme 2 installed and you make a child of Theme 2.

I was able to correct it. I knew it must be something simple because I have 3 other sites with the same set up. I downloaded the htaccess file and edited it, reviewed the errors, used another theme, cleared the active plugins in the database to get into the admin panel. Then used a search and replace plugin and its ok now.

I was able to go into the database under ‘wp_posts’ and edit ‘post_name’

Thanks. I decided to use a plugin specifically for animating blocks.
