Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Reorder by Term

For the plugin to work, there must be the correct custom fields present for each post you want reordered by term. Since this data doesn't exist natively, we must build this data. The build process should only have to happen once, so start the build, get a cup of coffee, and then start reordering your posts by term.

There isn't one. The changes are saved automatically.

Yes. Can we theoretically build this into the plugin to get it work automatically? Sure. But we won't.

Of course, but by the nature of terms, all post structures are flat, regardless of hierarchy.

This plugin requires WordPress 6.5 or above. We urge you, however, to always use the latest version of WordPress.
