1 min read Last Updated: April 3, 2025

To only allow existing tags to be selected as part of listing submissions, use this code snippet:

function gd_snippet_210726_disable_new_tags( $html, $cf ) {
	$html = str_replace( 'data-tags="true"', '', $html );
	$html = str_replace( 'id="post_tags"', 'id="post_tags" data-tags="false"', $html );

	return $html;
}
add_filter( 'geodir_custom_field_input_tags', 'gd_snippet_210726_disable_new_tags', 999, 2 );
