Thanks for writing. Unfortunately that can’t be made through the theme options. The Department template is a built in page template and WordPress give the order following the dates each element was created, however there are some PHP tweaks you can try in order to get the order from the “Attributes” box.

I’d recommend you to add the following code in your functions.php file:

 
function nice_deparment_order( $query ) {
    if ( ( $query->is_main_query() ) && ( is_tax( 'department' ) ) ){
             $query->set( 'orderby', 'menu_order' );
            $query->set( 'order', 'ASC' );
   }
}
 
//Hook the function
 
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'nice_deparment_order' );
 

Best,
Juan.

&&

should be &&

Best,
Juan.

I added that code into my functions.php file and now I cannot access the dashboard or my site.

This sign comes up: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ in C:\wamp\www\wp-content\themes\paeon\functions.php on line 14

How can I get back into wordpress to delete it?

Thanks for your response.

Did you see my last message stating the thing to look in the code?

If I’m not wrong you’re working locally right? You can go to C:\wamp\www\wp-content\themes\paeon\ and open the file functions.php with any text editor, like notepad. Then you’ll need to edit that change I’ve mentioned before.

Best,
Juan.

&&

And replace it with &&

The problem is that the code editor we’re using to show code is not replacing the && as it should, and is showing

&&

instead.

You know how it is when it comes to code. A simple comma breaks everything 😉

Best,
Juan.

Have a great day

Have a nice day you too!

Best,
Juan.
