    Hi Team,

    I might be asking for a very silly question but very curious to know that, I am new to GeoDirectory.
    I made multiple categories and few categories have Parent Categories in my CPT, Now my understanding is that each category will have a separate URL and that is what i got. Example Below.

    https://example.com/business/category/advocates-lawyers/
    https://example.com/business/category/civil-lawyers/

    Now the first is the url for category Advocates & Lawyers which does not have any parent category.
    2nd url belongs to a category where Advocates & Lawyers is parent category.

    What i wanted to create is that if in case category does not have listings then search result should not go blank, it should be related with parent category or other category related to parent category.

    Priority given in search
    Main category which is being search> parent category which is associated with main category> other category which are also related to parent category.

    Please give me suggestion how can we achieve that. I tried to search but did not get anything related to this topic.

    That is not possible without a customization and I’m sorry, but we don’t provide support for similar tasks.

    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply paolo,

    Please don’t say sorry for anything, It was just 1 question which came in my mind and i thought may be it is possible in GDV2, Evan i don’t wanna make any customization in GDV2 because when i was reading the core functions i came to know many useful things which are required in today’s competitive world as well as we need those functions to comply with government rules & regulations.

    Lets forget about what i wanted to create, I believe it is already in GDV2 which i want to achieve. But i could not find the answer what is the core relation within Category & parent category, can you please share any link which explains this. how search result performs with category and parent category, Sorry i could not find out myself.

    Thanks & Regards
    Surender Mehra.

    Hello,

    for the purpose of search, the default category has the same weight as other categories.

    read about default categories here:
