Everything makes sense. I wanted to make a basic listing as having one category. The issue I am having is that if you go to edit a listing, the parent category, which is auto-selected, is now counted as a second category. This is of course confusing for someone who is not familiar with the system. You will get a notice in red saying you can’t have more than one category, even if you originally only selected one sub-category — because going back to edit shows the sub-category and the parent category and the system counts them as two.

If at this point you deselect the parent category, then both categories become deselected.

I don’t see a way around this. I think I have to make the basic listing have 2 categories so as not to confuse people.

If you have a better suggestion for me please let me know.

thank you!!

Hi Paolo,

Thank you. So if I give someone a limit of 2 categories for a basic free listing, is there a way to have the parent category auto select by default? Or can they select two sub categories?

This is my real question. When you say ‘mandatory’ it isn’t clear whether the form will somehow make that decision for the person filling it out. So in other words, how do you make sure someone selects the parent category?

Thank you!!

Thanks Kiran,

Let me make sure this is clear:

If the basic-free listing is set to 365 days and at the end of the 365 days the listing goes to the same basic-free listing, not to expire, will a notification be sent to say that the listing needs to be renewed?

I’m wondering if I need to set it to expire in order to have a notification go out.

Please let me know if you have any questions about this.

thank you!

I read the documentation several times, over and over. I think I am starting to understand. I am still looking for where and how this is implemented. My developer said that it requires an additional plugin. However I still don’t see where the CPT linking mechanism is in the dashboard. And I wonder if it is true that it requires an additional plugin (like the list manager does).

I also want to understand what part of it is referred to where it says that it has to be done by the admin.

Thank you for your help on this.

Thank you Kiran!! That fixed it. Now we can style the maps and what the pins bring up.

It looks amazing now!
