Not working

Plugin not working and support dont answer.
Works – sort of
by pastorjim·4 months ago
The plugin allows simple reordering of posts as advertised. But in the Premium Theme I’m using, Ashe Pro, the widget that displays latest posts seems unaffected. It still shows posts in their date order. So I won’t be using this plugin until I can figure out how to fix this -if it’s possible.
Perfect little plugin

Has all the required features, and does a great job.
Plugin with all qualities, bravo!!!

This plugin has it all: efficient, discreet, and highly configurable. It allows you to reorganize everything on the site, unlike other plugins that are limited to pages or articles.
And this plugin is essential for any content that needs to be manually and intuitively categorized.
I hope it will be updated for a long time.
A huge thank you to the developer!
