Hi all,
I'm looking to create a directory based site that has business listings that will each have 2 main categories 'area' and 'business type'. Is it possible to incorporate parametric search using two drop-drop menus of the 2 sets of categories? E.g. 'Restaurant' in 'London' = Results. And for this to also just show ALL businesses in London if only one category is chosen? I hope I'm making sense!
TIA
Lee
I've sussed the bulk of this by following the steps outlined here...
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/choose-a-category-with-parametric-search/
However, is it now possible to remove the search menus from my results page? I just want a page of results without the category search displayed at the top of them.
Anyone have any ideas?
Never mind, I've resolved this with CSS. 🙂
Any chance you could say how you resolved it with CSS?
That might help me.

Sure, Martin,
I simply added the following to my CSS file...
#post-70 .wpv-filter-form {
display: none!important;
}
post-70 being the id of the body on the page that my results appear on.
HTH 🙂
Thanks Lee,
I'm building a directory site too. Started out with Business Directory plugin but contemplating diving in to this Toolset. I find WPBDP a bit restrictive and difficult to control and I reckon that these tools might be a bit more involved but ultimately, will leave me with a better understanding of how the directory is put together.
Anyway, I would be interested to see a link to your site so that a) I can steal your ideas and b) see how you get along.
I have read that display: none is not a good thing especially for mobile sites. This is because the browser still has to call the content that you are not displaying, not that I know much about this stuff! And I also reckon that you should be able to achieve what you want with code in a template and that the people behind the plugin might come good for you in that respect. I would ask the question again.
Regards
Martin
Thanks
Martin
