A few Macblaze.ca specific fixes<\/h2>\n

To get my Instagram posts to play nice with flex rather than floats I added<\/p>\n

.category-instagram .post-content{\n\u00a0 display:flex;\n  flex-wrap: wrap;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n
Fixed the Headings CSS<\/h3>\n
Heading 1<\/h1>\n
Heading 2<\/h2>\n
Heading 3<\/h3>\n
Heading 4<\/h4>\n
Heading 5<\/h5>\n
Heading 6<\/h6>\n

Ascending post order<\/h3>\n
macblazev v 0.75.9<\/h6>\n
Back when I posted about changing the order<\/a> of certain categories and\/or all of them. But for some reason the feature seems to be missing from MacblazeIV which reversed the order on all categories. So I needed to put it back in.<\/p>\n
What I came up with is this. It goes in the category.php file after if ( have_posts() ) <\/code> and allows me to specify which categories are sorted by ascending order and which are descending. This snippet also allows me to specify posts per page which I didn’t end up using but I left in here for posterity.<\/p>\n
< Changes display order for certain categories >\n        \n\n    $thiscat =  get_query_var('cat'); \n        $catobject = get_category($thiscat); \n        $parentcat = $catobject->category_parent; \n        $slugname  = get_category($parentcat)->slug;\n\n                if (in_array($slugname, array('cat-1', 'cat-2')) || is_category(array('cat-3','cat-4')) ) {\n                    query_posts( $query_string.\"&orderby=date&order=ASC&posts_per_page=2\" ); \n                }<\/code><\/pre>\n
It’s based on https:\/\/stackoverflow.com\/questions\/19961130\/wordpress-how-to-get-parent-category-id<\/a> and essentially finds the current category, finds the the id of the parent category then uses an if statement<\/code> to check if that parent is one of the categories in the array. Then it checks to see if the current category is listed (without having a parent) as one that should also have an ascending order.<\/p>\n
Parents and individual categories are listed by their slugs.<\/p>\n
Right now the parents are: array('Trips Etc.')<\/code> \u2014 so that all trips under that category read front to back \u2014 and the individual categories I want ascending are array('its-novel','recipes-of-yore')<\/code>.<\/p>\n
All-in-all it works, but I need a more elegant solution.<\/p>\n
Useful links for the future<\/h4>\n
