See this plugin:
http://www.transycan.net/blogtest/2007/10/30/custom-query-string-reloaded-for-wordpress-23-with-tag-support/
With it you can set a specific category query to display in ‘reverse’ order (ASCending instead of DESCending). It also does a lot more…
Another option is to use one of the “sticky” post plugins:
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/wp-sticky/
http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Plugins/Posts_Miscellaneous
(several listed at last link)
Thank you… but ALL that plugins allow me to put a “sticky post” before every one else…
I need to put it before the post of the same category he belongs to, only if that category is being watched.
Is there any solution?
Then look again at:
http://www.transycan.net/blogtest/2007/10/30/custom-query-string-reloaded-for-wordpress-23-with-tag-support/
It lets you set a different sort order (ASCending instead of DESCending, so oldest post is listed first) for category queries in general, or for just one (or more) specific categories.
you can do a hack like this in query.php, around line 931, just above
// Order by
if (empty($q[‘orderby’])) :
// Reverse Order Hack
if (’17’ == ($q[‘cat’])) {
$q[‘order’]=’ASC’;
}
if (‘7’ == ($q[‘cat’])) {
$q[‘order’]=’ASC’;
}
if (‘4’ == ($q[‘cat’])) {
$q[‘order’]=’ASC’;
}
if (’21’ == ($q[‘cat’])) {
$q[‘order’]=’ASC’;
}
if (‘5’ == ($q[‘cat’])) {
$q[‘order’]=’ASC’;
}
if (‘2’ == ($q[‘cat’])) {
$q[‘order’]=’ASC’;
}
if (’37’ == ($q[‘cat’])) {
$q[‘order’]=’ASC’;
}
Hi… thanks to all for the suggestions, but:
@kafkaesqui that plugin is not working for me, probably cause I’m using the http://fortes.com/projects/wordpress/top-level-cats/
?
@meatberg unfortunately I can’t get crazy with category ids… However I will ponderate that solution if I don’t find any else.
Then there’s always the brute force method. I can suggest the approach I describe here:
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/146437#post-658495
Revamping the code for your needs:
<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
if( strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/music-queen/') ) {
$_GET['order'] = 'ASC';
}
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>
aStickyPostOrderER will allow you to easily configure ‘sticky posts per category, tag or over-all
(and you don’t need to mess with code 🙂
Thank you to Andre for the support and the plugin.
I still have to get the final trick done but I’m sure that this is the definitive solution.
I set up the plugin, Andre mess with the code 😉
