Hi!

I am trying to: How to implement this (example: general.wp-filter.com) to create a chain select filter?

I expected to see: hidden link

Activate the first filter - display the second filter, etc.

Thanks

Hi, at this time we have chosen not to implement this type of chained filter control, also known as conditional parametric filters. People use taxonomy terms differently, and we would not be able to provide a consistent behavior for all Users. For example, some people assign a term from each level of the hierarchy, while other people only assign the lowest level of hierarchy. We do offer a feature that allows you to limit the options in a filter to the available results, as can be seen in the State and City select fields here: hidden link

The chain filters you have described may be accomplished with custom code, using our wpv_filter_query API:

We have a portal available where you can connect with skilled developers who may be able to implement this for you:
