Trevor.
Hello,
I’m currently have an issue with my search form where I have two drop down boxes, with each dropdown filtering categories. The problem is that I want each drop down box to filter a different list of category items.
For example
Location:
Geelong
Melbourne
Sydney
Category:
Automotive
Holidays
Trucks
What I’m actually getting looks more like this
Category:
Automotive
Holidays
Trucks
Geelong
Melbourne
Sydney
I ‘ve tried to use Exclude IDs in the advanced settings for each drop down box so the items don’t get mixed but I’m not sure if it’s working??? I’ve also added all the categories I want to include in the Tags, Categories & Taxonomies settings.
The website is http://smartsaver.com.au.in.chocchip.com.au/
How can separate these items to their respective drop down boxes.
Please help.
Hi
If you have taxonomy terms in the core category taxonomy that requires two form fields to filter as you want, then your site data is not structured correctly. You need to add one or more custom taxonomies, and/or use custom posts, and/or use custom fields (meta data). Using the free plugins CPT UI (Custom Post Type UI) and ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) you can add this structure. and then you can add unique form fields to filter the data.
