Hi Any update

[Jackson]

Hello, Dear friend, sorry for late reply, But there is no option to sort courses by id or order in course category carousel, only there is an option to include terms by slug if you want to exclude some items from this carousel then include those items which you want to show, Refer: https://prnt.sc/sp6bv9 Thanks,

Hello @makarand, Sorry friend , This is Not available , Thanks,

[Makarand Mane]

Hello @Jackson Just tell me where is code of this elementor block is located. I will change myself

[Anshuman Sahu]

Its in \wp-content\plugins\vibe-customtypes\metaboxes\library\vibe-editor.php file taxnomy_carousel function . Note that changing the code directly into core plugin files is not recommended , you will loose all these changes after update and we wont be able to help you with it .

Hi Alex

1. Working with WPLMS since 2014, so well aware about updates
2. I am going to modify it using hooks or I will override this function from child theme.
3. Can u plz tell me in which function, taxnomy_carousel is called? I checked plugin and theme but didn't found this is used anywhere. I am using elementor builder not vibe builder, so it this same function used by elementor also?
4. I saw this shortcode add_shortcode('v_taxonomy_carousel', array($this,'taxonomy_carousel')); But taxonomy_carousel is not used anywhere. Call back for this shortcode is taxonomy_carousel and declared function is taxnomy_carousel. Both are different in spelling.

Updates: Added my Finding and reply. check below

Hi Alex, Addition to last reply,

1. You already have parameter declared for shortcode called orderby...
2. For elementor you added control Order by but options are wrong ('Decending', 'Ascending') Which should be same as required by shortcode  Like 'Alphabetical', 'description'& ,'meta_value_num'='Custom Order' & you dont have control named Order for elementor widget, with option  ('Decending', 'Ascending') .
3. If you add right control & so it work without any hassle. As shortcode already accepts parameter, meta_value_num & can sort by custom order
4. I think its mistake in your code & you should fix in next update

File vibe-editor.php line no 3106

$v_modules['taxonomy_carousel'] = array(
        'name' => __('Course Category Carousel', 'vibe-customtypes'),
        'options' => array(
            ....................................
             'orderby' => array(
                'title' => __('Show Direction arrows', 'vibe-customtypes'),
                'type' => 'select',
                'type' => 'select',
                'options' => array('name'=>__('Alphabetical', 'vibe-customtypes'),'description'=>__('Description', 'vibe-customtypes'),'meta_value_num'=>__('Custom Order','vibe-customtypes')),
                'std' => 1
            ), 

vibe-courseCarousel.php Line no 85

       $this->add_control(
            'orderby',
            [
                'label' => __('OrderBy', 'vibe-customtypes'),
                'type' => \Elementor\Controls_Manager::SELECT,
                'default' => 'rated',
                'options' => array(
                    'DESC' => 'Decending',
                    'ASC' => 'Ascending'
                ),
            ]
        );

As you can see above, default parameter & options doesnt match at all.  On line no 502, Why you are forcefully replacing orderby & order value?

if(!empty($atts['orderby'])){

$args['orderby']='name';$args['order']=$atts['orderby'];

}

You are right , this was done by a team member who integrated the elementor with theme . Adding to issue  log : https://trello.com/c/JrNeeThB
