Sorting FAQ Items

Never mind, they pointed me in the right direction by telling me that I had to change the files “pro-shortcode.php” and “pro-faq-grid-shortcode.php”.

Here are the instructions for modifying the Pro version 1.1.2.
These changes will allow you to set the sort order of the FAQ items in the backend by using the “Attributes” pane on the righthand side of the page where you edit the FAQ.

Edit pro-shortcode.php:
file: wp-content -> plugins -> wp-faq-pro -> pro -> pro-shortcode.php
line: 111
change

$orderby = ‘post_date’;

to

$orderby = ‘menu_order’;

Line: 112
change $order = ‘DESC’;
to $order = ‘ASC’;

Edit pro-faq-grid-shortcode.php:
file: wp-content -> plugins -> wp-faq-pro -> pro -> pro-faq-grid-shortcode.php
line: 88
change

$orderby = ‘post_date’;

to

$orderby = ‘menu_order’;

line: 89
change

$order = ‘DESC’;

to

$order = ‘ASC’;

line: 149
change

$orderby = ‘post_date’;

to

$orderby = ‘menu_order’;

line: 150
change

$order = ‘DESC’;

to

$order = ‘ASC’;

Edit faq.php:
file: wp-content -> plugins -> wp-faq-pro -> faq.php
line 93:
change

‘supports’ => array(‘title’,’editor’,’thumbnail’,’excerpt’)

to

‘supports’ => array(‘title’,’editor’,’thumbnail’,’excerpt’,’page-attributes’)
