1,329 PointsHow to sort WordPress blog posts by Date?
Hi Everyone,
After the recent WordPress update, my blog posts went from being sorted by most recent to alphabetical. This causes all of my newest posts to not appear on the homepage of my website (http://www.protechm.com/).
Does anyone know of a plugin or a PHP script that will make WordPress sort blog posts by publish date?
Thanks!

1,329 PointsHi Andrew,
Sure, I would happily share that with you. One question, I have this problem on ALL of my pages, every page has its own category, and now they are all alphabetical :(
What file should I share with you, it is a .php?
Thanks!
Andrew Shook
31,709 PointsYeah its a .php file. See if you have a front-page.php. If you do copy it into a comment on here.
Lee Putnam
1,329 PointsI do not see that front-page.php, I actually can't find any .php titled for any of my pages. It looks like my theme has all of the .php files broken into the pieces that make up the pages. I.E. Footer, header, body, etc.
Andrew Shook
31,709 PointsOk then look for something call content-front. If not then post your index.php file
Lee Putnam
1,329 PointsWould that be in my current Themes Folders? (wp-content --> themes --> current theme --> index.php)
Thanks for your help.
Andrew Shook
31,709 PointsYes the index.php file in the theme folder of the currently active theme.

</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Andrew Shook
31,709 PointsOk, two more things. What is the name of your theme, and did you purchase it from a site that sells themes?
Lee Putnam
1,329 PointsGridz
And yes, purchased from Theme Forest. I should probably ask the developer shouldn't I?
Andrew Shook
31,709 Pointsyeah, I could help, but I don't think the developer would appericate you post huge chunks of their code for the public to see.
Lee Putnam
1,329 PointsGood point, where is my brain?
Thanks Andrew!

31,709 PointsLee if you feel comfortable doing so, it would be helpful to see the code for your front page template. Since there are dozens of ways to get posts to the home page it would help eliminate a lot of guess work.
