Greetings.
I’m having a problem. The Sorting Filter (Which appears as publish date,etc)

I have made a customization on the list page (list.php) and hid the search form fields (which are now on header). The problem is that i do the sorting and it is not working.

Since i’ve made several edits on the file i show it to you on this link
https://pastebin.com/T9KudKX7

I’m really lost on where to begin to edit to fix it.
Thanks in Advance and sorry for the questions of the same site over and over.

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

What params are you using for the [adverts_list] shortcode which shows the Ads? If it does not have the allow_sorting param set to 1 it will not sort items even if there is adverts_sort param in the URL.

Here lies the problem. Is the Category list generated by the plugin itself (to clarify, this is not from a page using the short code, the page is an advert category generated under the menu). As seen on this screenshot (note the lower left corner)

Despite i have few pages with this the shortcode, majority of them are categories generated by the plugin and suffer from this issue. (At the moment of writing i haven´t tested the shortcode ones)

I disabled the custom list page to troubleshoot. But the adverts page has the parameter

And with the default list now does not appear.

Found the culprit:

is plausible that in an earlier implementation i set in the documentation these lines in functions.php
```
add_action("init", "my_theme_wpadverts_init", 20);
function my_theme_wpadverts_init() {
    remove_filter('template_include', 'adverts_template_include');
}
```
Once i disabled them. Voila. The filter works

EDIT: Too Early to Celebrate:

Adverts works but the Categories doesn’t work still even with the fixing. I guess i have to do the taxonomy page again.

FINALLY!

Indeed i had to do the taxonomy page as stated in the Child Themes documentation but the inner part i had to set it like this:
```
<?php if ( have_posts() )  {
        global $wp_query;
    remove_filter("the_content", "adverts_the_content");
    echo shortcode_adverts_list(array(
        "category" => $wp_query->get_queried_object_id(),
        'allow_sorting' => 1,
     ));
    
} ?>
```
That allow sorting was that.
Now this is Completely SOLVED.
