Hi guys, thanks for the replies. I am a bit of a beginner with code but know my way around WordPress. I have a Highwind Child theme that has a functions.php which I used to get my posts to appear in ascending order. I have to admit that while doing that I mucked up my whole site so I am playing safe with this. Can you gently tell me where to place the suggested additional code within the existing code shown here:

<?php
// Exit if accessed directly
if ( !defined('ABSPATH')) exit;

// BEGIN ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION

if (!function_exists('chld_thm_cfg_parent_css')):
    function chld_thm_cfg_parent_css() {
        wp_enqueue_style('chld_thm_cfg_parent', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css');
    }
endif;
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'chld_thm_cfg_parent_css');

// END ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION

// Runs before the posts are fetched
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts' , 'my_change_order' );
// Function accepting current query
function my_change_order( $query ) {
	// Check if the query is for an archive
	if($query->is_archive)
		// Query was for archive, then set order
		$query->set( 'order' , 'asc' );
	// Return the query (else there's no more query, oops!)
	return $query;
}
?>

Many thanks

Thanks Calvin, you were right. I had left space after the last ?> but removing this made no difference. So not quite the same as the user you referred me to.

However it was the line space between the last } and ?> that caused the problem so removing this fixed the problem.

For reference I am using the Highwind theme with a Highwind child theme just for functions.php and CSS.

Thanks again for your help in finding a quick solution.

So for those who want to change the order of their blogs to ascending WITHIN A HIGHWIND CHILD THEME this is the working text:

<?php
// Exit if accessed directly
if ( !defined('ABSPATH')) exit;

// BEGIN ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION

if (!function_exists('chld_thm_cfg_parent_css')):
    function chld_thm_cfg_parent_css() {
        wp_enqueue_style('chld_thm_cfg_parent', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css');
    }
endif;
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'chld_thm_cfg_parent_css');

// END ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION

// Runs before the posts are fetched
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts' , 'my_change_order' );
// Function accepting current query
function my_change_order( $query ) {
	// Check if the query is for an archive
	if($query->is_archive)
		// Query was for archive, then set order
		$query->set( 'order' , 'asc' );
	// Return the query (else there's no more query, oops!)
	return $query;
}
?>

Hi Andrew, that shortcode was a recommendation I had seen to sort my posts into chronological order. I can’t seem to make it happen with CSS so I was looking at other solutions.

Seems like the Highwind theme is stopping me. Provisional site is at http://www.absoluteonesies.com
