| Sep 12, 2010 at 16:38 | comment | added | NetConstructor.com | one more example please.Lets say that you have 5 custom post types. Now, lets assume that for post_type1 you want to set the value to 5 posts, post_type2 set to a value of 2 posts and you want any other ones set to a default value of 10. Could you show what this code would look like? Also, is there an option one could set so that these are just default values unless the user set the value manually himself. If so then how could be force a value so the user can not change it? Finally, when you select "screen options" that value does not update/reflect the value which is actually being displayed. | |

| Sep 10, 2010 at 6:48 | comment | added | NetConstructor.com | @sorich87 could you possibly provide an example of setting the values for just two custom post types. Maybe I am doing something wrong | |
| Sep 8, 2010 at 22:49 | comment | added | NetConstructor.com | @sorich87 also... how would I set the options just for one specific post type without effecting the other ones? | |
| Sep 8, 2010 at 22:49 | comment | added | NetConstructor.com | @sorich87 your code does work but now if a user changes the screen options to show a different value the page only shows the value entered through the functions file. what I was looking for is a way to set the default options however if the user change the screen options manually it would show the user set option. | |
| Sep 7, 2010 at 12:59 | comment | added | sorich87 | Sorry, there was an error in the code. I modified it. You will notice the $post_type parameter which allows you to target a specific post type. | |

| Sep 7, 2010 at 11:26 | comment | added | NetConstructor.com | Thank you for your response. I just attempted to utilize the code you provided for setting the default number of posts in the admin post list however this did not seem to be working. Does something specific need to be done if you are trying to change the default number of results for a specific post type? If so, there is a way to set it for all post list pages? | |

| Sep 7, 2010 at 4:41 | comment | added | NetConstructor.com | @sorich87 thank you for your response however from what I remember there was no way to specific the exact order of each metabox or was there? Maybe I should be a bit more specific. I am basically looking for various code snippets which let me pre-set various options for all users without having to login to each account. Examples: setting the exact order of meta boxes on post edit pages, setting which columns title show up on the post list page, setting the default results to be shown on the post list page... things like that. Thanks in advance. | |

| Sep 6, 2010 at 8:13 | comment | added | NetConstructor.com | Sorry, maybe i did not explain myself correctly. I was referring to the meta boxes on the post edit page in the admin area as well as setting the default number of posts to display on the admin post list page. | |
