    Thanks Kiran. That did the trick.

    First, thanks, that enabled me to move it down in the dropdown which is an improvement.

    Second, you know I love you guys, but I think you should change the way this works.
    The order is not actually set on that screen, it’s just displayed. The order is set within the settings of each CPT, so you need to open them, and then it’s hidden in advanced settings.

    From there, it’s not as easy as it should be to switch around the order. Each CPT is locked into it’s place, so if you want to change 4 to 1, you first have to change 1 to 5 or some other unused slot. Only then can you change 4 to 1. Wanna set 3 to 2, gotta change 2 to 4 now to unlock 2 so it’s available for 3. So you need to open ALL of your post types, take note of what you want to move where, clear the necessary space, and so on. Bleh.

    I’m no coder, but I’m sure you guys can come up with something more intuitive. Ideally where you move them up and down like items in a menu list or something on that GD -> Settings -> Post Types page you mentioned. That’d be sweet! (While you’re in there, add a checkbox to indicate whether or not that CPT is displayed in the search options, lol)

    Sorry if this comes across as obnoxious, I really am just trying to be helpful. : )

    Oh! Is it possible to at least change the order they are in? Or set which one is default?

    My urgent problem is that the default is “vendors” of which there’s just a single entry, vs. clubs and events which have hundreds of entries and are the real purpose of the site. It’s annoying that it’s coming up first…if it was alphabetical order or by number of posts I’d be fine. : /

    But yeah, reordering them would be a really good interim solution for me.

    Hmm, OK, I woulda swore that was something settable in V1, guess not.
    Thanks for the developer flaggage, I would appreciate that script.

    Boom!!! Fixed! Thanks! With that done I think I am 100% live and full-featured with the new V2 version of my site. : )

    First, thanks for response.

    But…ugh. Crap. No like. It’s not like users “get” the difference between directory and non directory pages, so they’ll just be like “Oh I set my location and it remembers me!” followed by “WTF why did my location get deleted?” Frankly it feels like a bug.

    I think that’s something you should let developers choose via a setting. In that old V1 post you said it “would only take a small snippet of code” to make it so location preservation persisted even beyond closing of browser. Any chance an even simpler snippet could be used to do what I’m asking for? : )

    Yes, I understand that. And that’s the way it should be.

    But whatever location a user has set should be remembered, the way Stiofan describes, even if they visit a non-directory page. Right? Currently if you go to my site, set a location, then browse to the content page “Cornhole 101” you’ll see that your location gets wiped clean. That’s what I want to fix.

    I want what Stiofan described: “The location manager can be set to remember it as a session, which is until the browser is closed (whole browser not just the tab), it would require a cookie to remember it past closing the browser, which is not available at the moment but would only take a small snippet of code to add.”

    I don’t need/want it to remember past closing the browser with a cookie, just as long as they are on my site that one time.

    Thanks Alex, but I think I’ve got the settings you’re talking about set correctly already. Is it these you’re talking about?

    Location is already preserved when people bounce between GD-pages, and appended into URLs for location specificity. I’m talking about having my site remember and utilize their location even when they visit non-GD pages. Right now just clicking to a non-GD page like Cornhole 101 clears their setting which is unexpected and lame.

    In this old thread Stiofan said “The location manager can be set to remember it as a session, which is until the browser is closed (whole browser not just the tab)”

    That’s what I’m looking for. Can you please help me achieve that?

    Thanks, Alex, that did the trick.

    P.S. That’s bruuuuutal, dude! To have a buried “setting within a setting” override a master setting to default to letting unknown unsecured users publish anything to your site is a really bad idea. Since most people won’t know about that, the default should be to respect the master setting and you can override that to publish immediately or whatever else if you want. IMHO. : )

    Hope that’s helpful. Not as fancy/complete a solution as that fancy stuff you did there. That’s way over my head, so I’m kinda sure I shouldn’t be offering up my little trick, lol.

    I just realized you can’t expand/zoom embedded images so here’s one that better shows the CSS and affect.

    I played with that myself. It’s easy to make a given address field just “not appear” with this CSS targeting the “itemprop” for each field of the address.

    
    
    span[itemprop="streetAddress"]  {
       display:none;
    }

    The problem is there’s a <br> tag after the span that doesn’t go away, so the space that line of the address occupies persists.
