I have a ton of posts which display in descending order by date on my home page. I wanted to re-order them so I edited the publish date on some of them. However, my order of posts on the home page appears to be the same. Shouldn’t it update the order since I changed the post dates?
Changing publish date does not update post order
Yes it should, are you using a cache plugin like wp-super cache (or another?)
There is a much easier pursue for posts order using the Post Types Order just drag and drop and you’re done.
