Woocommerce Category order

[Erik78]

Hi,

I'm using Genesis sample-theme and Woocommerce. Since the update to Woocommerce 3.6.2 the order of the product-category's is alphabetical. The drag and drop order that I made under Products -> Category is ignored.

On the page where I display the different category's I use the [product_categories number="32" parent="0"] shortcode.

Is there a way to solve this?

I hope someone can help.

Kind regards,
Erik78

This is a question better asked of WooCommerce. It has nothing to do with Genesis.

Hi Victor,

I've previously searched the woocommerce-forums and the problem seems to be solved after updating themes like Storefront. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/product-categories-order-not-working-after-update/ That's why I opened this topic at Studiopress.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Thank you braddalton,

I have read through the topic but I don't understand what I should modify in this code you gave;

add_filter( 'woocommerce_shortcode_products_query', 'woocommerce_shortcode_products_orderby' );

function woocommerce_shortcode_products_orderby( $args ) {

    $standard_array = array('menu_order','title','date','rand','id');

    if( isset( $args['orderby'] ) && !in_array( $args['orderby'], $standard_array ) ) {
        $args['meta_key'] = $args['orderby'];
        $args['orderby']  = 'meta_value_num'; 
    }

    return $args;
}

Could you please help me with that?

I have changed the shortcode on my page with category's to:

[product_categories number="32" orderby=”menu_order” parent="0"]

Please ask questions relating to WooCommerce, on the WordPress or WooCommerce forums.

This is a WooCommerce question and doesn't relate to Genesis.
