CSS to Change Default Post Options

[mrjWells]

I am about to switch a very large blog over to flexform and I would like to change the default options for the media and sidebar. I was hoping for some simple CSS to accomplish this. Here are the 2 default settings I would like to change.

1) Set the default so the “Full Width Media Display checkbox” is unchecked.

2) Set the default “Sidebar configuration” to “Right Sidebar.”

Can that be done? I hope so, otherwise I will need to go through hundreds of posts one at a time to change them manually. Thanks in advance for all you help! Very appreciated.

One more request to add to the above.

3) Set the default “Thumbnail Options” to “image” and force it to automatically use the “Featured Image.”

I know this is probably a long shot, but it sure would be helpful.

Hi,
I made changes to you so please check and let me know your feedback.
Thanks

Please undo what ever you did, and remove the plugin. It did the opposite of what I wanted. Additionally, it left me with no control over the media width and no thumbnail. If you will restore the code to the way it was I would appreciate it.

Hi,
I roll back all changes. I did as you explained but you did not like. Anyway you can edit by your self as you want.

Thanks

Hi Mohammad,

Thank you for responding so quickly. I really appreciate all that you do. I don’t think that I expressed what I wanted in a way that was easily understood by others and I apologize for that.

Let me try again!

1) I was just looking for a way to have the “full width media box” unchecked by default, but I still wanted to have the full width option available if I wanted.

2) For the “post thumbnail type” I just wanted it to default to “image” but I still wanted to have the option to change it.

I need to maintain control over all custom settings and that’s why I was just looking for some CSS to override those default settings. Thanks

Hey Mohammad,

I figured out how to change the default for Post Meta > Thumbnail Options > Post thumbnail type >
(I also posted this at: http://support.swiftideas.net/forums/topic/change-default-checkbox-post-meta-for-articles/#post-93423 because I didn’t know which one you would see.

I just had to add ‘image’ (instead of ‘Image’) in the meta-boxes.php. See example below…
// THUMBNAIL TYPE
array(
‘name’ => ‘Post thumbnail type’,
‘id’ => “{$prefix}thumbnail_type”,
‘type’ => ‘select’,
‘options’ => array(
‘none’ => ‘None’,
‘image’ => ‘Image’,
‘video’ => ‘Video’,
‘slider’ => ‘Slider’
),
‘multiple’ => false,
‘std’ => ‘image’,
‘desc’ => ‘Choose what will be used for the post item thumbnail.’,
