Hi Trevor,
Thank you for your advice and the detailed response. I actually already practice most of what you have suggested with WordPress. I use custom post types, I create custom Taxonomies, I extensively use the Advanced Custom Fields Pro plugin, etc. It is good to be reminded of these best practices however.
When it comes to the filtering dropdown form, I can get rid of the hierarchy and create 2 separate taxonomies: Regions and Countries. However how can I then combine them into one filtering dropdown?
If you look at the Regions filtering dropdown on this page, this is exactly what I am trying to accomplish:

Notice if you pick Europe, it will give you the results for all of the European countries.
I can’t use separate filtering dropdowns for Regions and Countries. It needs to work like it does on this page. So how can I combine them into one if I create separate taxonomies?
Thank you for your help!
Josh
