WordPress Plugin – My Category Order  

My Category Order allows you to set the order in which Post categires will appear on your WordPress site. Uses a drag and drop interface for ordering. Adds a widget with additional options for easy installation on widgetized themes.

Plugin Info

My Category Order was released in 2006 and has been compatible with every version of WordPress from 1.5 to 2.8.5. It went through a lot of changes, but the effort needed to keep it backwards compatible was quite burdensome. Breaking support for versions of WP older than 2.8 allowed for the inclusion of a more powerful widget and the removal of the horrible taxonomy.php patch (believe me I hated it more than anyone).

The most exciting change comes from the move to the new Widget API. It makes adding support for multiple widget instances a snap. Rewriting the widget code also allowed me to add widget options for nearly every single parameter normally available to the wp_list_categories template function. If you were being held back by the lack of options on the built in Categories widget then definitely check that out.

    In order to make it work on my site, I had to update the parameters within the function wp_list_categories. I added orderby=order in the function call. The complete code that works for me is:

    Hi!
    i install your plug in, it lets me order the cats… but after finishing (“clik here to order”) id does not make any changes to my cat order.
    My wordpress is in spanish language.

    thanks for your workout!

  11. Great plugin, two things though:

    1. The checkbox options are not visually holding their status. This code starting around line 389 in mycategoryorder.php will fix it (note the addition of (bool) ):

    <input class="checkbox" type="checkbox" id=”get_field_id(‘show_dropdown’); ?>” name=”get_field_name(‘show_dropdown’); ?>” />
    <label for="get_field_id(‘show_dropdown’); ?>”>

    <input class="checkbox" type="checkbox" id=”get_field_id(‘hierarchical’); ?>” name=”get_field_name(‘hierarchical’); ?>” />
    <label for="get_field_id(‘hierarchical’); ?>”>

    2. Are you considering the possibility of adding additional option(s) to show the posts, maybe a recent list of excerpts, under each category?

  12. It seems your comment functions stripped out the complete code I posted, my bad. Drop me a note and I would be happy to send you the edited file.

  13. Bob says:

    Thanks for the effort put into this plugin. I took over a site for a new client who was using the older version. When I upgraded to the new version, the descriptions were no longer visible. Instead of the description being displayed on mouseover, what I get is “View all posts filed under…”

    What am I missing or doing wrong here?

    ’m using WordPress MU 2.8.6. On the blogs I’ve created, I am using the FoCal plugin combined with My Category Order. When I publish a post from an admin account, everything works fine. If I publish from an author account, the My Category Order defaults to alphabetical order and the numbers after the categories to indicate how many posts have been written in that category does not update. If I publish from an editor account, the numbers do update, but the My Category Order still defaults back to alphabetical. If I log in to admin and rebuild the cache in FoCal, it goes back to how it’s supposed to look. Will I always have to rebuild the cache after every posting?

    I’m don’t have much technical knowledge with coding the WordPress theme. I used Artisteer 2 to create it. But, if you point me in the right direction I can probably fix it.

    One of the sites I’m working with is http://www.grubcritic.com/annarbor

    Could you please contact me by mail, by the way i’ll send you back the modified files ;).

  35. Hi,

    following the WP Codex there is no orderby=order parameter (although it works). See http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories#Parameters

    Why is that? Is this an issue of the Codex or does the plugin make use ob invalid parameters?

    Thanks

    Hello all,

    Andrew contacted me and suggested my problem was with a javascript conflict and the installation of a new plugin. In fact it was a conflict with what seemed to be a very old jquery version used by wp-ecommerce I’ve installed long time ago and never used. Upgrading wp-ecommerce to their latest version resolved the problem.

    Again “My Category Order” is working fine, thanks for this great plugin and the fast support.

    Dear Rick,

    I am using your plugin in my latest project and am very happy with the time saved. I have but one question and it’d be great if you could help out/provide some additional info on, well, what to do in this scenario..

    This one works like a charm ->
    The category archive-page uses . Outputs the thumbs of all my categories, ordered by order. I use some css trickery to hide the text from cats and just echo the image (from another plugin – think it was category-icons something). Dirty job, but working nevertheless..

    In the second example I need to echo the first three categories from the order established by “orderby=order”. You think that the number variable would take care of this, but that is not the case.

    The Homepage (top 3 categories in from order) uses

    The function appears to select 3 items prior to ordering the categories in the established order, leaving the orderby parameter useless. When I remove the number parameter the list is generated fine, by order as expected.

    I imagine it is possible by writing a complete custom query, but well, I installed wordpress and this plugin for a reason ;) Extending functionality seems the way to go.
    Does anyone have a tip on how to fix this? Any pointers greatly appreciated. :)

  150. The incredible mr E says:

    the above functions are:
    archive: wp_list_categories(‘orderby=order&title_li=&style=none&hierarchical=false’) (working)
    home (first 3 from order): wp_list_categories(‘orderby=order&title_li=&style=none&hierarchical=true&number=0&depth=0′)
    (does not work as expected, see previous comment)

Which file should I changed the code? “function.php” in my theme? “function.php” in wordpress wp-includes? “header.php” in my theme?

    • cylcathy says:

      I figured out the problem. I need to delete those old categories and re-create new categories. After that, those navigation category had been re-ordered to what I wanted! Thanks a lot!

    First, thanks for the awesome plugins!

    I’m not sure if the latest My Category Order (Version 3.0.1) works on the front-end of my WP 3.1 site. I’m simply using it in an attempt to organize the categories on the backend for client administrative purposes. With that in mind, it does *not* work in ordering the categories in the following admin instances…

    (1) When viewing the Categories list (/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category)

    (2) When adding a new post, in the right-column “Categories” list

    For both of the above, the categories still list alphabetically. Short of doing an admin core hack to add orderby=order (no, I don’t want to do that!) is there any way to have your plugin work in the back-end of WP 3.1? Thanks again!

    Looks good, but not compatible with wp 3.1. Too bad. :(

  174. Andrew says:

    It is compatible with WP 3.1 and has been since before its release.

    Hi there,

    I just updated to WordPress 3.1.2 yesterday and then installed both “My Category Order” and “My List Order.” They simply do not work–I order the categories and lists and press “Click to order categories” (or “Click to order lists”) and nothing happens in my sidebar.

    Is this a known issue and are you working to fix it? Any workarounds?

    Thanks, Susanna

    I need to display all post according to category in a new page. Can you please tell me how to do this?

  184. ZunA says:

    It works with 3.2.1 only if you do what Michael Oeser says…

    following the WP Codex there is no orderby=order parameter (although it works).

    When you set orderby=order in place where you call your wp_list_categories this plugin start to working…

    :))

    Thanx man… :)

    Hi there, I have installed my category order in a new blog and categories don’t show (it simply shows the title and underneath it says “no categories”…
    I have checked the widget and ticked and unticked the relevant boxes: I have untiked “hide empty categories”, but even non empty categories do not show, I have tried to set the depth option at 0, 1 and 3, but the published widget continues to say “no categories”…
    For the moment I have the standard WP categories widget and all the categories are messed up in alphabetical order…. (http://yajanuwa.com)
    What shall i do? Shall I uninstall and install again???
    Thanks for your help!

    this works perfectly! to get it working with my custom taxonomy i just did a hard replace of ‘category’ with ‘custom_taxonomy_name’. then added ‘orderby=order’ to my get_categories query and i was all set.

    thanks!

    First off love your plug-ins,
    all working great!
    I would also like to set the order of the pages that I put in the categories,
    which I have in displayed in the side bar, using your My Category Order as a widget.

    It sets the order of the Categories just fine, but I also want to set the order of the
    pages that I put in the Categories.

    Possible?

    Sincerely, Ken

  197. Jeff says:

    I think like #Ken Titzel there is any solution for this problem?

    Hi,

    Thanks for your plugin. It is very useful.

    The question is that it doesn’t work with my current theme. Could you help me?

    Thanks,

  209. Hi there,

    Thanks for the plug-in but I cannot download it! I tried to download 3.0.1 but Powerpoint can’t read the file. Why is it downloading as a Powerpoint file anyway – I’m baffled! Surely it should just download as a WordPress file?!

    Thanks,

    Adam
