Hi brazier10. If you post a link to your site one of us can take a look at it. Thanks.
Hi,
I don’t understand your issue.
On the homepage or blog (if you are using a Posts page ), the posts are listed according to most recent posts, which is the same order as what you see in your WordPress admin -> Posts -> All Posts
It’s not listed according to categories.
If you want to change it’s order, you can use the following plugin.

Thank you
Hi guys, thanks for your reply

I’m not worried about the post order, i’m just worried about the category order (I believe it is done alphabetically).
I have 3 test posts on the home page and you can see the categories on the posts in the following orders
Featured / food
Featured / music
Business / Featured
I want the Business article to be categorized with “Featured” before the word ‘business’. Does that make sense?
Not sure if it’s possible at all.
@brazier10 – Are food, music and Business sub-categories of the Featured category? Or are they main categories?
Hi @bdbrown, thanks for getting back to me, They are all main categories.
Just wanting to know if theres a way to organise them for which order they appear in, there is a plugin but it doesnt seem to work with this theme.
Hi,
The theme uses the WordPress function the_category to show categories.

Don’t think there is a parameter for ordering category.
Maybe bdbrown has a custom solution. 🙂
Thank you.
Well, yes, I think I might have one. Give this a try:
1. Change your food, music and business categories to be subcategories under the Featured category.
2. On your posts, leave the main Featured category unchecked; only check the subcategory.
3. Copy the content.php theme template file from the parent theme to your child theme.
4. In the child theme file find this section about 2/3 of the way down the file:
<div class="post-meta group">
<p class="post-category"><?php the_category(' / '); ?></p>
<?php get_template_part('parts/post-list-author-date'); ?>
</div><!--/.post-meta-->
5. Change the “post-category” line to this:
<p class="post-category"><?php the_category(' / ', 'multiple'); ?></p>
This will cause the categories to be displayed in parent/child order with a separate link to each category.
