Context: Using WordPress with jigoshop plugin
I am using wp_list_categories to bring product categories that working well and brings the required list. The only problem is the ordering of the categories. I have used several orderby options (name, ID, slug) but the list order remains still the same as follows:
Tools & Brushes
Makeup Remover & Primer
Powder
Lips
Highlighter
Foundation
Eyes
Concealer
Bronzer
Blush
The jigoshop widget has following code:
$args = array(
'orderby' => 'name',
'show_count' => $count,
'hierarchical' => $is_hierarchial,
'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
'title_li' => null,
);
wp_list_categories(apply_filters('widget_product_categories_args', $args));
I am going to replace it by adding filter:
add_filter('widget_product_categories_args','myFun');
function myFun($out){
.......
.......
$args = array(
'orderby' => 'name',
'order' => 'ASC',
'style' => 'list',
'show_count' => 0,
'hide_empty' => 0,
'child_of' => $topMostParent,
'hierarchical' => 1,
'title_li' => '',
'current_category' => $cur_cat,
'taxonomy' => $taxonomyName,
);
return $args;
}
I have tried by deactivating other plugins too but got no effect on result. Please help.
Thanks.
Most likely,
Somewhere another filter is changing the arguments these can be.
In order they are executed:
get_categories_taxonomy
get_terms_args
get_terms
get_terms_orderby
<– most likely?list_terms_exclusions
get_terms_fields
terms_clauses
get_terms
(again)get_terms
(again again)wp_list_categories
These are divided over 3 primary functions ( functions which are likely to affect the outcome)
wp_list_categories
get_categories
get_terms
I suggest starting with the
get_terms_orderby
filter.If that doesn’t work I would try to use the function
get_terms
That way you will at least know if at which level it goes wrong.
Hopes this helps, let me know 😉
