    How can you set up custom post type where the end user can select more than 1 category at a time.

    We are creating a Furniture manufacturing Directory and want people to be able to select a Logging Company and Sawmill and have those results. As of now, we can only select one category at a time.

    By default, you can select as many categories as you like within the same Custom Post Type.
    Normally the only way to restrict to 1 category only, is setting a limit in your Price Package.
    Can you check your Price Package settings?

    We have not used a Pricing Package. We’ve uploaded about 1100 records. I can send you a link if that would help.

    I had no problem adding a test listing with more than one category.
    Can you detail the steps you take to re-create the problem?

    Thanks

    Right, now I understand.
    That is only possible if you do not change the settings at
    GD > CTP (for example “Places”) Settings > Advanced Search tab > Category >
    Show in Main Search bar > NO

    Thanks

    Adding a category selector will narrow the search. Without a category selector, the search will automatically search all categories.
