Hello, I am trying to give an order to the people listing with “Simple Page Ordering” plugin. The plugin faq says “when you register the post type, set hierarchical to true – hierarchical post types natively order by menu order.” I could not find where to do this.
Also, I do not want to lose this change. Please let me know what to do with the child theme as well.
Thanks…

Hi there,
You can add the following to a site functions plugin:
https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/addons/eea-people/jf_eea_people_archive_orderby_menu_order.php
More info about building a functions plugin here. When you add changes like these into their own plugin you will not lose your changes.

Thanks. I added this to the functions.php of the child theme, but it did not make any difference.
Should I really build a functions plugin or can it have been with the child theme’s functions.php file?
Thanks…

When you say makes no difference, to what? The front end?
The code enables the native WP route for the Espresso People post type, so you’ll see a ‘People’ section in the admin menu – http://take.ms/gurRv
From within there you can set the order for people to display on the /people/ archive list.

I see it now.
I am sorry, I was looking at the Event Espresso’s People Admin page.
Thank you for your prompt help.

But I don’t see any difference in the front end.

And the add person page comes blank when I go through the new menu item.

Can you link to the page you are viewing on the front end? I suspect your expecting something different from what the code allows for.
And the add person page comes blank when I go through the new menu item.
You add people through Event Espresso:
Event Espresso -> People Admin.
The ‘new’ People menu is the native WordPress route for the espresso_people type, you can not use that to add people, you can only use it to re-order them.

I understand about the people adding issue. Thanks. Is there a way to forward this add person link to the event espresso’s people admin.
The link for the people listing is: https://alphastar.academy/people-type/instructor/
I see that the ordering is good for the https://alphastar.academy/people/ page but not for the people types.

No way that I’m aware of. I updated the snippet that removes the “Add new link from the native WP route.
I also updated the snippet so it includes the ordering for people type archives.
https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/addons/eea-people/jf_eea_people_archive_orderby_menu_order.php

Thanks, but when I put this snippet the site is not loading, it gives 500 error.

Line 25 needs an additional closing bracket:
https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/addons/eea-people/jf_eea_people_archive_orderby_menu_order.php#L25
That should be:
is_tax( 'espresso_people_categories' ) ||
Edit – This has been fixed in the original code.
