Although PageLines is universally plugin compatible, we have added "advanced" graphical/functional support for several WordPress plugins.
It's your responsibility to install each plugin, which can be done through "Plugins" > "Add New" or through the developer's site where you can download them manually (e.g. CForms).
Post Types Order Allows you to re-order custom post types like features and boxes.

Post Types Order
The PageLines Framework includes three powerful sections that utilize Custom Post Types. They are Banners, Boxes, & Features. By default, these sections will display each Custom Post Type chronologically, with the newest one displayed first. To rearrange the sort order, you must install the Post Types Order plugin. It will allow you drag and drop control over the order.
Download, install, & activate the Post Types Order plugin
From your WordPress Administration Panel:
- Select either the "Banners," "Boxes," or "Features" panel, then "Re-Order"
- Click and drag to rearrange the Custom Post Types order
- Click "Update"
When you first install & activate the Post Types Order Plugin, you will see a message that the plugin must be configured.
- Select the "Settings" panel, then "Post Types Order"
- Choose the General settings you desire. If you are unsure what these setting mean, leave them alone
- Click "Save Settings"
