I’m trying to change the default order that the categories display on the homepage we have set up here:
http://j.mp/1NUvCOn

I searched through the forums here and tried to find a solution and came up empty. I also looked through documentation and no luck.

I did find a related post in the forums here suggesting this:

“I suggest trying this plugin Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order as I saw that many users use it to change the categories order.”

I installed this plugin and changed order, but my homepage does not reflect the altered category order.
I’m looking to make it match the menu on the link above.

Let me know if you have questions`

Hello berchman,

Notice that plugin has not tested with our theme and therefore we cannot say for sure if it will work as expected for the whole website, sorry! This plugin seems working fine for sorting the menu and mega menu items. I do not exactly understand what kind of categories do you want to change from the homepage… All the settings regarding on categories of blocks can found in each block in Block Settings. If is not what you mean, please provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.

Thanks for your understanding!

Hi Catalin,
Thanks for your reply. What I want to do is change the order the categories are displaying.

Right now on the homepage below the sliders each category displays the latest posts.
The categories are in a blue rectangle with a rule across. The order right now is:

Technology
Business
Insurance and the Law
FAA History
Use Cases
Op-Ed

I want to move Op-Ed to the top of this list. I’ve looked through the block controls in the theme panel and don’t see a way to change the order of these categories displaying on the home page.

Hope that helps explain it a bit better. Let me know if that is possible inside the theme controls, or do I use a 3rd party plugin, etc?

Thanks!

Hello berchman,

Unfortunately, the theme does not have any such an option that allows you to sort order these elements (block titles), sorry! You should do it manually when you add your blocks.

Thanks for the message!
