    Hello,

    i have restart to try this Plug in, now i have created some custom form flieds for submisson of entrys. All working fine so far but:

    There are filed in the Form which i actually don’t need and don’t want, how can i delet them?
    – Business Hours
    – Listing Tags (not entering any tags will not delete this field…)

    Besides that:
    How can i say that some of the pre installed fields ar requiered?
    – Title
    – Discription
    – Location (Address)
    – ZIP Code

    AND the last ting, is it possible to make a custom order in the Form for submitting, including the pre installed form fields? Not just the fields i have created? Ah this fields are mixing up between the fields which are pre installed. So that is a bit confusing as well, but if i can reaarange and delete some of this field all will work well i gues…

    Oh, i see something that is maybe the reason for this problems (becaus in your documentation i found that i can hide this fields but they even don’t show up), the old installation of Posterno has entered a lot of Formfields in the Database (i can see it as soon i make an CSV Export of the Form fields). There are many fields in this CSV Sheet which are not showing up in the Custom Form Fields area inkluding all the pre installed fields which are not marked as listing_field_is_default how can i go around this problem now, so that the fields will show up and i can hide them? Deleting from database and reinstall Posterno? And if so how can i delete this fields? where they are stored? Or can you send a “Clean” CSV so that i can “change” the Fields via Import? Would be very glad to get hel in this ??

    Well and as i run in the moment multiple tests here is another question:

    How can i change the basic slug?

    xxx/listing-location/
    xxx/listing

    etc.? Because “listing” is the wrong word for me and the wrong language ??

    THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP IN ADVACNE, as for now i thing this Plug In will be mine for working! Loogs great so far (besides the “small” problems)

    Hi @leogc

    How many listings custom fields did you create? Up until version 1.1.0 of Posterno, there was a limit of 100 fields. In version 1.1.0 this limit was increased to 300 fields. So if you created your fields before version 1.1.0, and you had more than 100 already, you might need to clear your fields cache.

    If you have less than 100 fields and for some reason you can’t see all of them, please email me at [email protected] so I can take a closer look to your issue. Alternatively you can also reset custom fields by reading here https://docs.posterno.com/article/576-how-to-reset-custom-fields

    FYI:

    To hide default fields that you don’t need, read here https://docs.posterno.com/article/623-how-to-hide-default-listings-fields-from-the-admin-panel

    To change the order of fields, read here https://docs.posterno.com/article/506-changing-the-order-of-fields

    In regards to required fields, the title and description fields are always required so you it’s already set for you.

    The location field and the zip field can be set as required, read here https://docs.posterno.com/article/504-listings-custom-fields#t4

    To change the listing’s post type slug, you can add this line to your theme’s functions.php file

    define('PNO_LISTINGS_SLUG', 'slug-here' );

    You might need to go in Settings -> permalinks and press the save button to refresh urls.

    At the moment there isn’t a way to change the slug for taxonomies (categories, locations, tags, types) I’ll make sure to add this into the next update ??

    Let me know if you have any other question.

    Great Support and very good documentation, thanks!

    BUT this looks like not working:

    Alternatively you can also reset custom fields by reading here https://docs.posterno.com/article/576-how-to-reset-custom-fields

    I have done it directly after you posted it, this is now showing that it was (20 minutes 2 seconds ago), i think this is maybe a bit long…? Maybe it is because my website is still blocked via htaccess because it is in develope mode and not shoule not be visable to public? Or how long this maybe need?

    I have created the Fields after i updated to 1.1.1, so this is all ok, but as said there are a lot of “old” Fields in the Database from my first test of Posterno i guess. Maybe it was Version 0.7.0 or something like that. Is there a way to delete the fields manually in the Database and re-install the default fields so that they show up in the Tab “Custom Fields”? If you like i send you an email right now so that you can resend me some files to upload or so, i need to go off the office soon, so just let me know ??

    Ah if i do the slug thing, in the themes functions.php will it not be overridden as soon the theme gets an update? And ehen will it be possible to chnage te other slugs? What do you think?

    Hey @leogc

    I’ve just replied to your email, let’s keep the conversation there until the issue is solved. Once solved I’ll add some more details here so if anyone has as a similar issues, they’ll be able to read it.

    If anybody elses has the same issue where the background process does not complete, please check that you’re not blocking access to your site via basic browser authentication. This is a known issue of the background processing library being used in Posterno which is the same that powers the popular WooCommerce plugin.

    This may be resolved in the future.
