I have set the Category Display Type to SELECT in the Settings so that there is only a single list and only a single Category can be applied to a listing. I also want to default this to a certain category ID (45) when adding a listing. In addition, I set to Admin only so users cannot modify.

When I changed to Select display type the code below no longer works, since it is for multi-select:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){

if(location.pathname == “/add-listing/”)
{
jQuery(‘#gd_placecategory.chosen_select’).val(’45’).change();
}

});

How can I set the category automatically using the single select?

Hello,

Use following JavaScript snippet.
```
jQuery(function($){
	if ( $('.geodir_form_row select#gd_placecategory').length) {
		$('.geodir_form_row select#gd_placecategory option[value=""]').remove();
        $('.geodir_form_row select#gd_placecategory').val(45).trigger("chosen:updated");
	}
});
```
