    Hello,

    I'm using the CastoPress since friday, and really appreciate it. But actually, I can't find a way to reverse the playlist podcast order in the player. How can it be done?

    When it plays it goes to the next down element which is the previous podcast. For a fiction, I nead the order to be chronological. From first to last.

    (I've  tried changing the settings in Ess.Grid, but it only change the display, not the order the podcast player goes.) Could you please tell me, how I can change this settings ? Kind regards, Thank you,

    David

    Yes I can provide you an access. Too make my issue more obvious, before, here is a screen capture of the CastoPress theme podcast playlist, in the demo it is going backward from last to most recent. Is there a setting anywhere in the actual theme to reverse that order ?

    Thanks,

    Well, the easiest ways would be to manually change the published date of each of your podcast (just edit the podcast episode post, and change its date)

    They are currently ordered by date, from most recent to oldest.

    Thanks for your response,

    Yes, I understood that. For the moment it's what I've done. But the problem is when a new episode comes out, it will need to be antedated and older than the previous one, and this is kind of weird... and will probably mess up in the itunes and rss feeds.

    As far as possible I would like the posting date to be true.

    It would be nice to have the possibility of reversing the order, or to create a podcast playlist which would keep the nice visual of the podcast grids. Is there any way to do that ? (The Playlist mode is too rigid for a podcast, even if it is very good for an album of music.)

    The rest of the theme is very well designed and very effective, I really love it.

    Thank you for your time.

    For the episode grid, this is possible by editing the order within WP-Admin > Ess Grid

    but for the playlist, this is not possible at this time. We will add this to our roadmap and if more users requests this, we will release an update.

    thanks

    Thank you for your answer. For the moment, I'll go for the reverse date post. Would be great if this function is added in the future.

    By the way is there a way to restore the Ess. Grid skins ? Because I accidentally modified, and broke actually, the Podcast Skin, and I would like to restore it to the original. I promise I won't do it again !

    This tool is awesome but I'm pretty new to it, since the last version of my Website run on a very much older wordpress.


    Thanks.

    Hi,

    great.

    You cannot "restore" ess grid skin to a original state.

    You will have to delete and reimport the skin. Which skin exactly is it, i will send you the file

    Thanks,

    Thank you very much,


    That is very kind.
    It's the Podcast skin, the one used in Podcast Episodes - 4 Columns.

    Hi, 

    Please unzip it first and go to wp-admin>ess grid>import export
    to import the json file.
