Hi Charles,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Based on your screenshot you are trying to display additional taxonomies in your frontend filter.

Have these taxonomy terms been created before hand and are not showing up ? ALso do these taxonomy terms have posts assigned to them?

I know that when you're creating a view it will default to displaying only the terms that will produce a result on the frontend.

Please let me know so that I can best advise you.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane, the taxonomy terms / occupation have been created beforehand. I do not know how or where to select them to show in the category menu.

Thanks,
Chuck

Hi Chuck,

The others will automatically appear once they have posts assigned to them. The view is automatically pulling the list of terms that have posts assigned.

Do you want it to show the terms even though no posts are assigned ? As this is possible and I can provide the instructions on how to do this.
Thanks,

Yes please Shane.

Hi Charles,

To do this you will need to select the custom search section of your view. See Screenshot

From there disable the setting "Show only filter options that would produce results".

This will cause all your options to become visible on the frontend.

Please let me know if this helps or if further clarification is needed.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane, I do not see how to show what you shared in the screenshot.

Here is what I see...

Hi Charles,

You will need to select the View Search option in the left hand corner of your screenshot.

This should bring up the options that you'll see from my screenshot.

Thanks,

Hi Charles,

Would you mind allowing me to have admin access to the website so that I can have a more detailed look at this for you ?

I've enabled the private fields for your next response.
