featured products slider shortcode

[midnite]

Hello, i have a Featured Products slider on the home page set up using the site builder. it currently defaults to sorted by price of products, low to high. i want to be able to set the order they are showed on the slider. on the woocommerce site it says that can be done by setting the shortcode parameter orderby=”menu_order”. on the sitebuilder edit screen that option isn’t available, the other options woocommerce talks about are their however. i tried manually adding it through the classic editor here:

[spb_products title=”Featured Products” asset_type=”featured-products” carousel=”yes” product_size=”standard” item_count=”8″ width=”1/1″ orderby=”menu_order” el_position=”first last”]

but it doesn’t work. menu order is set on each product’s page under the advanced tab – menu order. the default is 0. according to woocommerce, if i set the menu order on my product pages and add orderby=”menu_order” to the shortcode it should work. it also says that the default setting is orderby=”date”, but on this neighborhood theme the default appears to be “price”?

can you guys check on your demo if you’re able to change the featured products slider’s order to menu_order?

here’s a reference (a little past the middle)

unfortunately i can’t provide login info at this time per client’s request, so i’m looking more for a confirmation if orderby=”menu_order” works on the neighborhood theme’s featured product shortcode.

thanks,

Here’s another article about the “orderby” parameter that appears to be missing in the sitebuilder editor:

Hi

They shouldn’t be ordered by price, they should be ordered by latest? If you want to change the order install Post Types Order plugin

Hey Kyle, thanks for the quick reply. I installed the plugin you suggested and it worked like a charm. I actually didn’t even re-arrange from the plugin, i think just having its “auto sort” checked overrided the default and allowed the orderby=”menu_order” to take effect. Thanks again!

No problem
