Hiring somebody to get stuff done

Hiya,

We purchased this plugin, but cant get what we want fixed.

We want a search filter for my blog that is able to filter my posts on sub-categories, displaying all posts that are tagged with that sub-category. I want the search filter to be able to filter on multiple categories at the same time, so that it filters out only the posts relevant to all chosen categories.

For example, three filters for my recipe page:
– filter 1 says ‘type of recipe’ > dropdown with soup, bread, pasta, breakfast etc > reader chooses ‘soup’
– filter 2 says ‘type of vegetable’ > dropdown with tomato, beetroot, pumpkin etc > reader chooses ‘beetroot’
– filter 3 says ‘type of allergy’ > dropdown with glutenfree, lactosefree, sugarfree etc > reader chooses ‘sugarfree’
– result: all soup posts with beetroot in it and no sugar.

Of course the reader can also decide to filter on only 1 or 2 of the categories and leave the other one unspecified.

We know we need to use Advanced Custom Fields but we get stuck (and we need to get this fixed within a deadline)

Is there a way we can hire you guys to implement this?

Hi

You have used just categories and sub-categories, but instead this should simply be different taxonomies (e.g one taxonomy for Recipe, Vegetable, etc) and then in the WP editor these would make category-like meta boxes for the author. Are you using standard post or custom post types?

I am unsure if you can add taxonomies to standard posts, but you can to Custom Post Types. You might want to install the free CPT UI plugin to see if that does this.

You would not need to use ACF for this.
