Changing order of wordpress plugins?

Hi Warriors,

I've been scratching my head about how to do this the last few days. It's really starting to annoy me now, because I would have thought this to be a pretty simple task.

I basically have 3 plugins that load after every post on my pheromone website. It goes from author box, to related posts, to share/subscribe.

I simply want to change the order to share/subscribe box, author box, and THEN related posts. The only post I can seem to find that describes doing this is here, but I am not a programmer and don't know jack about php or web coding.

I've tried to use the code supplied into the related posts plugin, and it did work. However, that code is to make the plugin appear first. When I tried it on the author box and share/subscribe plugins, it didn't work :confused:

I think the easiest way would be to change the code to appear last (and I did change it from "first" to "last" on the code to see what would happen). If anyone could help me out here I'd appreciate it!

  • The order that plugins are loaded by WP has absolutely nothing to do with where they appear within the theme.

    You'll need to have someone proficient in WP look at your theme to see how the plugin outputs are displayed.

    Sometimes it is easy to manipulate plugin output without changing the plugin itself, sometimes it isn't.
  • Thanks Steve. I thought it would have been quite a bit simpler considering wordpress has come such a long way.

    If anyone else has ideas on how to do this, I'd appreciate it
  • In WordPress priority is defined in the plugin itself. so you have only one option.

    If you know php then modify the plugin files and change the priority of every plugin.
