I need some help. I am trying to create a custom query for my Custom Posts I created in WordPress, and using Elementor Pro.
On my post, I added a custom field ‘sorting’ with a numeric value, which I would like to use to order my posts manually.
However, I cannot seem to get this to work.
I am using the latest Elementor pro version.
And I tried following the instructions as per their page: https://developers.elementor.com/custom-query-filter/
Here is my code I added to my theme’s functions.php file
// Showing posts ordered by comment count in Posts Widget
add_action( 'elementor/query/speaker_order', function( $query ) {
// Here we set the query to fetch posts with
// ordered by comments count
$query->set( 'orderby', 'sorting' );
} );
I have added ‘speaker_order’ as the Query ID in the Elementor Editor.
