    Just updated to version 2.6.8

    We have a player vs player league.

    Previously, when adding an event, there were separate selections
    for Player 1 and Player 2. We used this to make Player 1 the
    ‘away’ player and Player 2 the ‘home’ player. We use a custom
    delimiter (‘at’) so the auto event description becomes something
    like ‘Bob at Jim’.

    Now, in the new version, when adding an event, Select Players only
    has one selection to choose both players and they seems to be assigned
    alphabetically to be Player 1 and Player 2. There seems to be no way
    to have ‘Jim at Bob’ – it is always becomes ‘Bob at Jim’.

    Hi @hebegb2016,

    There is an options at SporsPress->Settings->Events called Order (https://snag.gy/MuXkgy.jpg). Do you have that selected?

    Thanks,

    Sportspress|Settings|Events|Players|Order lets me choose Name or Jersey.
    That doesn’t help me set events that are Bob v Jim or Jim v Bob.

    I was always able to specify the order of the players when adding the
    event. Having only one input for Players takes that capability away.

    Ok, I see that. Are you suggesting I use Reverse Order?

    We play home and away, so there will be two events for each combination:

    Bob at Jim
    Jim at Bob

    Globally reversing won’t work.

    Unfortunately at Player vs Player mode the plugin auto sorts the Player based on their name. This is a limitation of the Chozen jQuery plugin used by WordPress.

    If you use Team vs Team mode instead, you cannot achieve what you want?

    Team1 = Bob
    Team2 = Jim

    So you can use the Team vs Team mode for your events.

    It may be a limitation of the Chozen jQuery plugin, but it didn’t work like this until I updated the SportsPress software to the latest version.

    Prior to that, yesterday, I could choose Player 1 and Player 2 as separate fields. Now they are combined. It’s not the jQuery plugin – the implementation has changed. It should be changed back or made optional.

    Which version did you have before updating to latest?

    Not sure, but fairly recent.

    I just installed SportsPress 2.6.0 and the functionality of Player vs Player is the same as version 2.6.8

    Do you have any backup to restore to the previous state and share a screenshot of what you are seeing?

    Thanks,

    ok, so maybe not that recent. πŸ™‚

    I use SportsPress for a couple of leagues. The singles league started
    in March 2017. It worked then and through many updates. I probably haven’t updated
    in a few months.

    You can always manually alter the Title of the Event and use the correct order.

    I went back to version 2.3.2 but the functionality is the same. In version 2.3.x (released at late 2016) we first implement the Player vs Player mode.

    I will let the developers a notice to look for a solution for keeping the selection ordering.

    Thanks,

    The problem with just changing the title is the score will still be displayed in player order. So if Jim wins 7-2, the result will show ‘Jim v Bob 2-7’

    I’m looking into restoring a backup. I’ll let you know version then and send a screenshot.
