    You’re right, of course. I haven’t had time to keep it up to date. I started working on a WPWTDS theme and other projects got in the way.

    Ordering numerically seems like a good default order. I’ll make sure that gets into the next update.

    While you’re doing that, how about an option of the user to set sections and sub-sections in the order they’d like. Same for the wikis themselves

    There’s actually a really good plugin that offers a page that lets you drag and drop these things (posts and taxonomies) in whatever order you want that I’ve used in the past with WPWTDS.

    This might be the one I’m thinking of, but there may be a couple others that do similar things: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/simple-custom-post-order/

    Certain is. However, while the plugin you recommended appears to work, I’m having my doubts about it. I think your wiki would work better if it had section order and wiki order, much as pages have page order.

    Yes, I am a fussbudget and a perfectionist.

    Also, while the Post Type Converter plug in does work with 3.9.1, it doesn’t with your wiki. I have to copy and paste the page or doc to a new wiki. Now, it does work with Wiki Lite, but I prefer yours.

    Please, have pity fo a struggling auther and do a smidgen of updating. Or tell me how to edit the code so it will have section and wiki order and work with the Post Type Converter.

    Are you using this plugin for converting posts of one type into posts of another type? (if not, you should be, this is what I would use)

    And that doesn’t work.

    Really?? Let me test it tonight. Not sure why it wouldn’t.

    Well, I am using 3.9.1, and coders do have a habit of changing thing you’d thing they didn’t need to change.

    BTW, I thought the plugin had a widget.

    No you can do it. You need to convert to wpwtds_article (wpwtds = WordPress Wiki That Doesn’t Suck).

    And no, I’ve never officially built a widget for the plugin. But you could conceivably display WIki posts in a widget with a plugin depending on what you were trying to do.

    What do I convert to wpwtds_article? And would a text widget with a link to the first section do the job?

    Plugin Author Chris Reynolds

    (@jazzs3quence)

    It depends on what you’re trying to convert FROM. If you were using posts (or pages) previously, then you’d do that…but you’d probably want to filter by a certain category (like if you had posts in a “wiki” category then you’d only want to convert posts to wpwtds_articles that were filed under “wiki”).

    Re: text widget — depends on what you’re trying to do. But that could work.

    Thread Starter mythusmage

    It’s not working for anything, “Wiki != Suck” doesn’t appear in the convert menu. And it doesn’t convert any entry using any wiki plug in even if the option appears in the menu. I’m now going to look into something.

    BTW, if you ever do update drop the sections part, it’s really not necessary.

    Plugin Author Chris Reynolds

    (@jazzs3quence)

    That sounds like either her plugin or your environment, then, if it’s not working for anything.

    Re: sections — it’s actively being used here: http://eventespresso.com/support/documentation/versioned-docs/?doc_ver=ee3 to break up groups of articles. Not planning on removing any existing functionality.
