Speakers Alphabetical Ordering

Is there a way to display speakers alphabetically rather than date of publish?

Please edit file:

and change:

Code: Select all

$gk_loop = new WP_Query( 'category_name=' . $category . '&post_type=' .$options_tmp['name']);


to:

Code: Select all

$gk_loop = new WP_Query( 'category_name=' . $category . '&post_type=' .$options_tmp['name'].'&orderby=name');


Please tell me what file to edit.

Oh, sorry...
wp-content/themes/Fest/gavern/widget.speakers.php

I made that change and performed a hard refresh but it did not alphabetize. Do I need to rename the file to match my category (wineries)?

Have You saved widget settings to force reload of data?

I don't understand. What widget would I resave and why would a widget have control of the ordering of the category?

I resaved GK-Speakers, but that had no effect.

Widgets are cached, also their content is cached, so when You change something in source code, WP requires to hit save on widget to recreate cache. But this is not an issue here.
Ill test the solution again and write back with correct answer.

Right, I understand the caching issue. My question was along the lines of why the widget would have an effect when the widget isn't part of the problem

Please try with this code:

Code: Select all

$gk_loop = new WP_Query( 'category_name=' . $category . '&post_type=' .$options_tmp['name'].'&order=ASC&orderby=title');


Again, save changes to php file, upload it and save settings on Speakers widget (I know its dummy ).

No luck.

Still in order of publish date (I think).

Oh, I thought You refer to homepage speakers widget .

wp-content/themes/Fest/category-speakers.php
change from:

Code: Select all

$args = array( 'post_type' => $tmp['name'], 'posts_per_page' => 100 );


to:

Code: Select all

$args = array( 'post_type' => $tmp['name'], 'posts_per_page' => 100, 'order' => 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'title');


Should solve Your problem.

That did it. Thanks. My apologies for not being clear.
