    Hi, hopefully a simple question, how do I add define the custom taxonomy within the post itself?

    So for example in your demo you have film genre and certificate. Presumably these are both custom taxonomies. How would I define the genre within the post? I can only set categories and tags.

    Thanks!

    Hi

    To add a custom taxonomy to a post you would need to use a plugin like CPT UI, and to add fields (meta fields) you can use ACF or ACF Pro

    To put it another way, my website is a travel website, I want users to be able to filter (checkbox) by country, budget, holiday type, duration etc.

    They should be able to use multiple filters at once rather than just a single filter. What is the best way to do this? I’ve paid for the Pro version although am actually using the Free version because I’ve found it easier to use.

    I would say that those are fields, so you would use ACF to create a field group to contain those options and then assign that field group to the post type you are using. Then, in S&F, use the Meta form object to call those fields and format them as you wish (e.g. radio, checkbox etc).

    Can I mark this as resolved and close the thread?
