Categories – Picking Parent then Child category (ClassifiedPro)

Hi,

I am trying to set up the “submit listing” form.

I have one post type, in it 5 parent categories each main category has about 4-6 child categories

I want the users in the front end to first (Section 1) see the 5 parent categories and then they choose the child categories.

Otherwise the user will see a dropdown menu with 35+ choices and is overwhelmed…not an alternative.

I can not figure it out.

Attached my classifiedPro present situation AND kinda who I want it…it is my present system. Works but is ugly.

Thanks

I heard back from https://helpdesk.cridio.com/ and was told that is not possible?!!?

For me that means THE THEME CLASSIFIED PRO no use at all.

Here what I answered:Hi Ricky, Thanks for the answer.

So in short you are saying:
1) No, this basic function, that all other classified themes have, is not available
2) You recommend a third party plugin
3) BUT you do NOT recommend third party plug ins?!?!? Kind of a contradiction….

If this is true, it means this Theme is unusable and not worth buying. I mean, WHAT listing has less than 10 categories? What did the programmers think of to not even consider this very important basic function???

As you might have seen, a good friend of mine wrote the same Q. He has 300+ categories!!! He regrets buying it already..and this is sad.

Maybe your team can give me feedback, IF they want to add it and what the time-line for the new function is. I love the design and all….but this is the absolute MUST function for any theme in this category.

AND

Let me ask another that might solve this:

From what I understand the “Custom Post Types” (like attached pic) have separate search results.

Is there a way to include all Custom Post Types into one search result? Then I could use one Custom Post Types as main category, but ONLY if users can see all listings e.g. keyword “cat” from all post types on one result page.

That would work for me.

Hi Jumper,

Thank you for being a part of the CubeWP Community.

As mentioned, this is the General forum for CubeWP. If you are experiencing issues related to a different theme, please contact the theme support team. They will be able to assist you promptly.

We are here to discuss general CubeWP-related topics.

Regarding your concern about categories, it’s recommended to use the Select 2 UI from the Post Type Form Builder. This is considered best practice for handling categories or location taxonomies, especially if you have a large amount of data.

Simply select the Select 2 UI option from the Post Type Builder, drag your taxonomies into the builder, and click to open the taxonomy settings (See Attachment).

Thank you for your cooperation and patience.

Best regards,
CubeWP Support
