Plugin display order no longer working

    I use PO to order plugins at the bottom of my posts. So I have my social media icons first, then my author box, then Quick Adsense, then my related posts plugin. It worked great, until recently. I can no longer change the display of my plugins this way.

    I’m using the latest version, and I updated the order on the “Group and Order Plugins” page. I re-copied PluginOrganizerMU.class.php to the correct location.

    Any ideas what could be wrong? Perhaps there was a change in the WordPress core that makes this no longer possible?

    Changing the order that plugins get loaded in didn’t change. The way it works is it reorders the array of plugins saved in the database that the core uses to load the plugins. The core starts at the beginning of the array and works it’s way through loading all the plugins it finds. i don’t know why that would have changed in the new version unless your load order isn’t actually being saved.

    Thanks for the reply. This array wouldn’t be the “active_plugins” option in my database, would it? I just checked that and the plugins are indeed sorted in the load order specified by Plugin Organizer. Very odd that this doesn’t affect the display of these plugins.

    Yes that is the array. The order that meta boxes are displayed depends on how they are registered. Plugin Organizer just changes the order that the plugin code is included. Not how the meta box is registered.

    Ah. That explains it then.
