[Support request] How to Reverse the Post Order of a Specific Category?

[Jungsu]

Hello.
How can I reverse the post order of a specific category. I hate to use the plugin. Thanks,

[David]

Hi there,

try this function:

function change_category_order( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_category('8') && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'order', 'ASC' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'change_category_order' );

Just change the category ID to match your selection.

Hi,

If I may hijack this thread:

how would you apply this to all categories?

I tried something like this but it doesn’t work:

function change_category_order( $query ) {
if ( $query->is_category(‘8’, ‘9’, ’10’) && $query->is_main_query() ) {
$query->set( ‘order’, ‘ASC’ );
}
}
add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘change_category_order’ );

Thanks in advance,

[David]

Thanks David it worked.

Is there a way to make a specific post within a specific category featured?

I can only see the “make first post featured” option.

Thanks,
Marc

Theres a plugin that allows you to set a Sticky Post for specific categories:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/category-sticky-post/

Its the only way that i know that is possible, but the plugin is out of date, but some users looking at the reviews are still using it….

Ok thanks for that.
