Installed it but coundn't figure out how to use it.

No user interface options and seems you need to add code to the index.php and what i don't know!

Hi,

I am afraid you are going to have to change the index.php file but there is only one line to change.

open your index.php file and search for :

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

replace this with:

<?php $posts=query_posts($query_string . '&order=asc');
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

nothing else. This shoudl then return a list with oldest posts first.

You did make this amendment to your index.php of your theme right? I guess I shoud have said that. If you are using a theme which has a home.php or index.php, this is the file you need to change.

<?php
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'orderby' => 'date', 'order' => 'DESC' );
query_posts($args);

if (have_posts()) : while( have_posts() ) : the_post();
?>

YOUR POST HTML

<?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>

if you have that plugin still intsalled open up your index file and add this

PHP:

<?php sort_query_posts_by('date', 'desc'); ?>

It needs to go just before the loop starts . if your theme is evolve 1.2.7 the loops starts with

PHP:

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

unfortunately evolves index has 5 loops on it . I think you only need to add it before the loops that start at lines 385,592,799

make a back up of your index file first before altering anything

Change the date of the new post older than the date of the last post.
