"The Administrator hasnt yet populated the listing form with fields

I have been messing with settings and things, and suddenly I cannot post any classified ad.

After I select a category and then press "Next"

the error

"The Administrator hasnt yet populated the listing form with fields, please contact the Administrator."

what checkbox did I hit to break this?

I was messing around with all the Geo Location things, as I did not want any of it enabled.... is it related?

on a unrelated note, if you use "apostrophe" anywhere in the forum post, it deletes the message from that point on.

did you delete any categories ? there is a master cat for list fields maybe you nudged that out? if so just nominate a new master cat and build that out.

Hello Tim,


I suggest you select general category for your listing type and after to check the listing form of this category.


1. AP -> Listings -> Listing Types -> edit a type -> Category Settings -> General Category
2. AP -> Categories -> Browse -> click to your general category -> Build Category -> configure listing form

Hi Curtis
Does this apply to V4.7.1? I am not seeing Category Settings -> General Category

Hi David,

Thank you :)

I already set up the forms, but it still doesn't allow me to create ads, what I do?

Admin panel / Listing type / Edit type

I create the forms and nothing happens

Error! Error! Error!

The Administrator hasn't yet populated the listing form with fields, please contact the administrator.

Would you please send us a screenshot with listing form builder in Admin Panel and error on the front end. Maybe you build another category or category from another listing type.
Also, you can create a new ticket with the problem and our tech department will check and explain your mistake.
