Changing the order of blog posts in essential grid

[NoahSwanson]

I’m using the essential grid to display blog posts (https://noahswanson.com/post/). However, it’s showing the oldest blog post first. How do I go about changing the order?

To change the order of the posts through Essential Grid plugin Please follow the below steps.

Essential Grid -> Settings-> Source -> Additional Parameters

Thanks. I just went to update the grid according to what you just said, but for some reason, I’m unable to edit it now.

Hi @NoahSwanson,

I recommend the following troubleshooting procedures before we investigate the settings.

1. TESTING FOR THEME RELATED ISSUE
2. TESTING FOR PLUGIN CONFLICT
3. THEME UPDATE
4. CHILD THEME
5. CSS/JS CUSTOMIZATION
6. VERSION COMPATIBILITY

Only if none of those help, please give us the following information in a Secure Note.

• WordPress Login URL
• Admin level username and password

You can find the Secure Note button at the bottom of your posts.

Thank you.

Hi @NoahSwanson,

Upgrading WordPress can be the reason for this issue, we are currently testing our themes and plugins with the updated version of WordPress, theme and bundled plugins will be released after it has passed our test.
Please check the version compatibility page if the latest versions are already available.

I would suggest you downgrade the WordPress version of your website, till the updated version of the theme & plugin released.
To downgrade the WordPress version you can get help from here: https://soliloquywp.com/how-to-downgrade-wordpress-to-an-older-version/

Hope that helps.

Thank you.
