Portfolio previous and next arrows working incorrectly

[rebeccadalton]

Hi Guys,

Sorry one last question (hopefully!). I’ve just noticed that the arrows in the portfolio pages work in reverse i.e. the next arrow (on the right) goes backwards to the previous item and the back arrow (on the left) takes you forwards. This basically means the user gets stuck in a loop if they start at the beginning.

This doesn’t appear to be the case on your demo site but I haven’t changed any settings to do with navigation (to my knowledge).

Any idea what’s happened?

Many thanks!

Hi Rebecca,

Have you used any plugins to modify post order or anything like that?

Hello,

Yes, I used a plugin called ‘Post Types Order’ suggested by this support forum, in order control the order of portfolio items.

The post types order plugin will change the order of the items on the index page, but not for the navigation bar as this uses the publish date order

Okay thanks. So then I go back to my original question, how do I manage the order of portfolio items (without breaking the themes navigation)? If I were to rely on the publish date then I’d have to go and change all of the items every time I made an edit.

Unfortunately you can’t, post types are displayed in date order. This can be changed to things like alphabetical, but it’s not possibly to control the order by simply choosing an order

Okay, no worries, thanks for your help.

No problem
