Changing Web Part properties via powershell

Question

i am currently wanting to update the "ShowSortOptions" & "ShowLanguageOptions" via Powershell l have filter with the correct web part using

$Webpart = $WebPartManager.WebParts | Where { $_.Title -eq $TitleofWebPart}

I then use the following :

$Webpart.ShowSortOptions = "False"

$Webpart.ShowLanguageOptions = "False"

But the property doesn't change when l save the changes, but when l go manually to the web part and change it via that route it changes and when l view the property in PS it shows the updated one.

Answer 1

You have to call the SaveChanges method of the WebPartManager. For example:

$Webpart = $WebPartManager.WebParts | Where { $_.Title -eq $TitleofWebPart}
$Webpart.ShowSortOptions = "False"
$Webpart.ShowLanguageOptions = "False"
$WebPartManager.SaveChanges($Webpart)
