Got it! It is working now. I was trying to make it too complicated. And as you can tell, I’m not much of a programmer. But your help was excellent, thanks so much for taking time to reply. Cheers!

Hi Vasyl,

Thanks so much for your reply! I think it makes sense.

However, I am having trouble in step 2, when entering my PHP function in the REDIRECT to Valid URL or Page ID field. After applying this, I get an error message when I try to view a page.

It seems that whatever I add is not being interpreted as PHP code. The function I added is visible in the ‘view source’ HTML of the page.

Is there some other setting I must enable, so AAM will allow entering PHP in the REDIRECT field? Thanks!

I can’t find the function listed above. I’m on p2 version 1.4.0. Has something changed?

Anyway, I just spent three incredibly frustrating hours trying to make Blog Post the default post type on my site. I’ve scoured this forum, found many threads addressing the issue, but not yet found a 100% working solution.

I’m not an advanced PHP or Javascript programmer but I don’t mind hacking around. I just don’t know enough to solve this riddle without help.

I tried every “fix” listed in these forums. I even tried modifying my child theme so that the four post type options are gone, and blog post is the only option available. No matter what I do, I can’t find a way to prevent p2 from assuming I want to submit a status update!

I will buy lunch and a beer for anyone who can provide a 100% working solution. Don’t really care if it’s a plugin, or instructions for a hack, or modifying the p2 theme… anything to help us folks who don’t want Status Update as the default mode, and who just want to use Blog Posts with p2.

Ah… found the answer myself. ?? All I had to do was alter the class on the <a> for my “edit in admin area” link. There is a js file applying the inline editing functionality to class .edit-post-link
