Rorder Portfolio Items included in Home Page layout

[emilwisch]

Hey All,

I’m just trying to figure out how to reorder the portfolio items set to show on the home page. My client and I have dug and dug and haven’t been able to figure it out.

I tried reordering the portfolio items by date, but that doesn’t seem to control the order at all.

Here are some screenshots:
– Current Home Page (live): http://www.screencast.com/t/IyttDTq3G
– Portfolio Items (dashboard – custom post type area): http://screencast.com/t/bGqbFphs
– Alyeska Theme Options, Portfolios: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7hdRNVdQRXqQXhDa1U2RVJscTA/edit
– Alyeska Theme Options, Homepage: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7hdRNVdQRXqMFdTNnd5bHBWR1E/edit

Any guidance or link would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much,

Emil

Hello Emil,

Keep in mind you’re using a version of the theme that we no longer support. Almost a year ago, we completely re-did the theme from scratch (which you can download for free from ThemeForest).

I just dug up the last 1.x version of Alyeska and can see why you’re having these odd issues. I’m just sort of speculating by looking back at the old code, but in theory, this should fix your issue.

Open this file: /includes/theme_functions/alyeska_portfolio.php

Find this towards the top:

$query_string = "post_type=portfolio-item&order=ASC&orderby=menu_order&posts_per_page=$num";

And change it to this:

$query_string = "post_type=portfolio-item&posts_per_page=$num";

Now they should be ordered by their publish date.

Thanks so much, Jason. I’ll implement in the coming days.

Hey Jason – I just wanted to follow up with you on this. That fix didn’t work. I appreciate you going back to the old theme files to try and help, though.

I’m just going to work with my client to get to work on updating the theme.

Thanks again ~ Emil
