I created a new type of post: Download.
I created and formated the fields for this type of post.
Next, I created categories and subcategories.

I would like to get the way of navigation in Download:

- I enter the main category Download
- I choose a sub-category (I have several to choose from)
- I choose another sub-category (there will also be several sub-categories)
- Only in the last step, I will see the list of files to download.

Currently displaying the main download category I immediately see my files that belong to the sub-category instead see only subcategories.

I don't know how to prepare a category view for this type of presentation.
I will be grateful for every hint.

Thanks Minesh!
I did not have time yesterday to write, but I came up with the same idea!

A bug with the wrong place of posts was funny - I added posts to the wrong category.

🙂

thanks again!
