 * i added few new “status” but i can’t remove default ones…i remove them, and when
   i refresh they come back. Is it a bug on my side or it just has to be like this?

 * They are added as defaults by the plugin. If you don’t need them, you don’t need
   to use them.

 * With the latest version (v1.1.1) you can remove the defaults by adding a filter
   function to your theme.
 * This will remove all the default status terms. You can remove the ones that you
   want to keep, if any, from the array:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'wp_listings_default_status_terms', 'custom_default_status_terms' );
       function custom_default_status_terms() {
       	$status_terms = array('Active' => 'active', 'Pending' => 'pending', 'For Rent' => 'for-rent', 'Sold' => 'sold', 'Featured' => 'featured', 'New' => 'new', 'Reduced' => 'reduced');
       	return $status_terms;
       }
       ```

 * Yes, add it to functions.php.
 * My mistake, the code snippet provided keeps all the default terms. If you want
   to remove them all, then pass an empty array:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'wp_listings_default_status_terms', 'custom_default_status_terms' );
       function custom_default_status_terms() {
       	$status_terms = array();
       	return $status_terms;
       }
       ```

 * Would also appreciate a similar filter for Property Types if it doesn’t exist.
   Actually filters for custom listing text, map embed code, etc would all be appreciated.
   I don’t want to hack the plugin and break updates, but I also want to make the
   admin panel as user friendly as possible for the client.
 * Thanks for your valuable time. 🙂

 * There is already a filter for property types. You can see it in the file class-/
   includes/taxonomies.php. It’s basically:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'wp_listings_default_property_type_terms', 'custom_default_property_type_terms' );
       function custom_default_property_type_terms() {
       	$property_type_terms = array();
       	return $property_type_terms;
       }
       ```
