    Hi,

    I would like to make it so all listings get put into a category by default when a listing is submitted. I do not want the frontend user to have to see the category option, I just want it to put them in the 1 category that I have available by default.

    Here is a video explaining what I want done: https://youtu.be/pJ2-QR6X158

    How would I do this?

    I don’t think that is possible, but I’ll get Paolo to look at your question too.

    Thank you for the reply. Where do I put the JS code? I tried placing it in my functions.php but that did not work.

    It is javascript, it will not be executed in a PHP file. Please add it to GeoDirectory >> Design >> Scripts >> Footer Scripts.

    Also the script provided there is for his specific case. He’s using two variables. Price ID 1 and price ID 2 and assigning a different category for each.

    Category with ID 8 for price 1 and category with ID 7 for price 2.

    Make sure to adapt that script to your needs.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the information. I adapted the code to fit my category ids and pasted the code in Footer Scripts, however it does not seem to be doing anything. Also I can see it under my footer on the frontend of the website. Is there a part of the code I am missing or should be removing before pasting it?

    Attached is what I see on the frontend of the site under the footer.

    HI,

    everything looked correct except for the script not being wrapped in tag.

    However it doesn’t appear to be working for some reason. I even tried to place it in the header, but no results.

    I’ve asked to the developers to have a look for us and let us know.

    Thanks for your patience,

    You were checking if the page was “/add-listing/” but it is actually “/nsjvma/add-listing/”

    Now it’s working

    Thank you for the reply and finding that. I just tested it and it is still not working on my end. Did you try submitting a listings, and did it work for you?

    Thanks!

    Hi again.

    It is working perfect for the default post type.

    However it is not working for my custom post type hospital

    This is the link I am using for the listing form: http://marckdesignconcepts.com/nsjvma/add-listing/?listing_type=gd_hospital&package_id=2

    Can you see something that is wrong with the JS code or something else as to why it is not adding people the the Hospital category when they submit this form?

    Thanks!

    After investigating a little further I think there is some issue with the category option being completely removed from my 2 listing custom post type forms.

    I had been using the below code to hide the category option from the form since it was being autofilled, but I tried removing the css code and the category option on the listing forms is still gone.

    Any idea why the category option would be completely gone now?

    CODE I WAS USING:

    #gd_placecategory_row{
    display: none;
    }

    #gd_hospitalcategory_row{
    display: none;
    }

    Thanks for the help!
