    Hello,

    I see that if I enable category selection with a post, each category is listed on the form with a checkbox next each. This is too long as I have many.

    Can this be changed? If so, how? Ideally, I’d like a dropdown select with only one selection possible.

    Thanks

    Hello Cameron,

    Please try the following code it will list all taxonomies in dropdown.

    

add_filter( 'buddyblog_post_form_settings', function ( $settings ) {

	if ( buddyblog_get_option( 'enable_taxonomy' ) ) {
		$taxonomies = array();
		$tax        = buddyblog_get_option( 'allowed_taxonomies' );

		if ( ! empty( $tax ) ) {

			foreach ( (array) $tax as $tax_name ) {
				$taxonomies[ $tax_name ] = array(
					'taxonomy'  => $tax_name,
					'view_type' => 'dd',
				);

			}
		}

		if ( ! empty( $taxonomies ) ) {
			$settings['tax'] = $taxonomies;
		}
	}

	return $settings;
} );

    Place this code in your ‘bp-custom.php’ file.

    That worked and thank you.

    For those of you that are new to the ‘bp-custom.php’ file…

    Don’t forget to encase everything with <? ?>. Otherwise, Ravi’s code won’t work.

    Hello Cameron,

    Thank you for the acknowledgement. I am glad that I could help.

    Note: Please don’t use <? ?> it is shorthand for php. Use like the following

    
<?php

// Your code goes here.

    Regards
    Ravi
