Set default value for category on submit listing page

[ChrisB]

Hey,

In order to show all of the available attributes upon landing on the ‘Add Listing’ page, I’d like to set a default category, instead of ‘—’.

I searched the forums and found an old post, but after trying the proposed snippet (below) it doesn’t seem to be working.

add_action(
	'hivepress/v1/models/listing/create', 
	function($listing_id, $listing) {
		$listing->set_categories(1)->save_categories();
	}, 
	1000, 
	2
);

If I can set a default category, I also like to hide the ‘—’

Cheers,
Chris

Another quick update:

The snippet I found/posted in the OP did seem to work as intended after increasing the priority value in the Code Snippets plugin.
