Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a CPT with custom taxonomies which involves hierarchical structure like "grandfather taxonomie" / "father taxonomie" / "grandchild taxonomie".
Let's say I have "Country 1" / "State 1" / "City 1" and "Country 2" / "State 2" / "City 2"
I would like to have :
1) User can create a CPT selecting "Country 1 /taxonomie" and then only "State 1 /taxonomie" and "City 1 /taxonomie" will be selectable. If user choose "Country 2 /taxonomie" then "State 2 /taxonomie" and "City 2 /taxonomie" will be selectable.
2) In search it should works the same. User searching for CPT should select first between "Country 1" or "Country 2". Then depending on the selection the options will be "State 1 / City 1" or "State 2 / City 2" options.
Other way to solve my problem would be:
I have a Field inside my CPT called "Country". Then, depending on the selection of this Field different taxonomies will be displayed.
(for example: If user select in the field 'Country' the 'Country 1' option, taxonomies for 'Country 1' will be displayed. And if 'Country 2' option is selected taxonomies for 'Country 2' will be displayed.
The same functionality for the search.
* I'm not sure which option is better and more logic. I'm a little bit confused with this... Sorry.
:/
Is there a similar example that we can see?
Yes, I think it's a pretty basic functionality like real state demos, isn't it?
The thing is users can select "child" taxonomies depending on their "parents" selections.
You can see it live in action with the real estate reference site:

You may try to create a test site on our free test platform discover-wp.com and try to install the real estate reference site and play with it to learn how those dependent dropdowns for state and city is configured and latest you should configure it on your site accordingly.
Now, I have a CPT called "Companies" with
- a 'Select field' with two options ('Type company')
- a hierarchical list of over 100 taxonomies ('General activity' > 'Specific activity')
What you are suggesting is to create new CPTs for all this?
- Type Company (2 types of options) [Select field]
- General Activity (20 types of options) [Taxonomy parent]
- Specific Activity (60 types of options). [Taxonomy child]
So, if I do what you are suggesting, what should I do?
1) Create one CPT for "Type company" with a 'Select field' with 2 options
2) Create one CPT for "General activity" with a 'Select field' with 20 options.
3) Then, create a One to Many relationship (Type company -> General activity)
4) Then, create a CPT for "Specific Activity" with a 'Select field' with 60 options.
5) Then, create a One to Many relationship (General activity -> Specific activity)
6) Finally, I should insert all those CPT as fields inside my CPT called "Companies".
Is that what you are suggesting?
There is no other option like show in the search specific taxonomies depending on the selection of the field "Type company"?
I mean, If I have in my search a 'Select field' with two options, option 1 will display another 'Select field' with taxonomies called 1 and option 2 will display another 'Select field' with taxonomies called 2
Please let me know, because if the first option is the only way to do that I have to change all my we structure and I have lots of users registered now...
Yes - the thing is that you can setup the dependent filters using the first choice only, by setting up post types, there is no other option.
1) Create one CPT for "Type company" and add those 2 posts to it
2) Create one CPT for "General activity" and add those 20 options as post to it
3) Then, create a CPT for "Specific Activity" and add those 60 options as post toti
4) Then, create a One to Many relationships (Type company -> General activity)
5) Then, create a One to Many relationships (General activity -> Specific activity)
6) Make sure to connect the posts in relationship like connect Type company post to General activity and so on for your other relationship.
What you need is a dependent dropdown, so when I select option from dropdown select 1, it should update the options on dropdown select 2.
Using [wpv-conditional] statement, you can display the content, filters conditionally but it will not update the dropdown options for dropdown 2 based on the selection of the option from dropdown 1.
So, for me, the first issue is solved.
But now I found a problem in the "Add New Post form" related to this:
What I can't reach now is make the same hide/show in the "Add New Post Form".
I need to display the Categories 1 if user select Dropdown 1 and Categories 2 if select Dropdown 2.
Sorry Minesh, me again.
I've been working with the Doc you provided me.
But I'm not able to make this work.
Can you please check if my code is correct?
<div class="col-sm-6">
<label><h5>[wpml-string]Provincia *[/wpml-string]</h5></label>
[cred_field field='provincia' force_type='field' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12">
[cred_show_group if="($(provincia) eq '1')" mode="fade-slide"]
Show this content if 'Provincia' is set on 1
[/cred_show_group]
[cred_show_group if="($(provincia) eq '2')" mode="fade-slide"]
Show this content if 'Provincia' is set on 2
[/cred_show_group]
What I need to do is show content depending on the selection of field 'Provincia', but nothing is really happening.
