[Resolved] Taxonomy Selector Displays Values Based Upon Another Taxonomy Selection

I have a parametric search set up that works well. However, I want to add additional functionality to it so that users can benefit from a simpler experience.

Currently, I have one custom post type called "Listings." I have a taxonomy set up called "Listing Categories." The Listing Categories includes categories and nested subcategories.

I want to split categories and subcategories into two taxonomies, offering two selectors in the parametric search. I want select subcategories to display in the second selector based upon a user's category selection in the first selector.

Can you please offer me guidance?

Thank you!

🙂 Eric

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Using one taxonomy it's not possible as to display dependent dropdown because to display dependent dropdown it should have parent/child relationship.

To implement such functionality - You should check this example:
hidden link
Check “State” and “City” dropdowns.

You can register test site to review how it was setup. It’s totally free.

Thank you Minesh. The "State" and "City" example helps.

In a parent/child relationship, can a child have multiple relationships with parent taxonomies?

For example, in the "State" and "City" example, can a city have a relationship and display for several states? (of course, in reality, a city has only one state). 🙂

I don't thin so. If you check real estate site, post type "State" is the parent of post type "City". That means this is "one to many" relationship:

I suggest you should go through this doc that will help you:

I hope this information will help you to resolve your issue.
