\nMake field conditional based on a category of the listing<\/h3>\n

\n\tIt is possible to show or hide a field based on whether a category is or isn’t present on the listing.<\/p>\n

\n\tUse the “contains” to pick your value out of the list of categories stored with the listing.<\/p>\n

\n\tUse the Category ID instead of the category name. For example, if the category “Attractions” has Category ID 22, then place 22 in the match column.<\/p>\n

GeoDirectory’s Conditional Filters for Advanced Search<\/h3>\n

\n\tAdvanced search addon allows you to make search filters conditional, too.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis is especially targeted to support filters ‘by category’.<\/p>\n

\n\tYou can set up first a multi-select field in a CPT that only shows based on a category like shown above.<\/p>\n

\n\tThen in the search configuration you can display that filter only if the visitor has already engaged a category filter using the id of the category, as shown in the screenshot below.<\/p>\n
