I'm using the Post Form for users to create new posts. so far working but have 2 questions.

1. For text fields (looking mostly at post_content), is there a way to not give them a rich text editor? So they'd only have text?

2. For the select drop downs of taxonomy selections, is there any way to sort them other than alphabetical?

Hi Don

The post_content is, well, the content that in classic WordPress is a TinyMCE wysiwyg editor and in new WordPress a Gutenberg block editor, it's not a simple text field.

If you want users to submit content that is simple text rather than rich text, you should probably use a multiline text custom field instead of the post content.

As for changing the order of taxonomy terms in the select dropdowns, there are no such options unfortunately.

The first thing I would do is suggest you request the feature (at https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/) so that the product manager is aware of the demand when prioritising development.

I may be able to help with a custom code solution if you are comfortable using that on your site?

Thanks. Since the ordering is one drop down I think I'll drop in some javascript to do that. I added a (please select) choice that is the first choice so I will know if they haven't selected one.

For the text field, going to build out just leaving it and then review (particularly on how the search works for searching custom fields).
