After reading the documentation through several times, I’m having a difficult time grasping the best way to set up my site. I’m a new full member so have updated GD V2 & Whoop V2 and the latest WP version.
I’d like to have 2 CPT’s say Noodles & Events for the entire United States. Categories (and their subcategories/child categories) under the Noodles tab will be: Italian (linguine, spaghetti, ziti, etc.), Japanese (soba, udon, yakisoba, etc.), Chinese (biangbiang, cellophane, cumian, etc.), on and on.
So the questions are:
1) Since I only want the parent categories (Italian, Japanese, Chinese, etc.) to show in the Noodles tab, how/where do I enter all the noodle types so that if a user types linguine into the search bar all the restaurants that serve linguine show up? Do I need to set up an additional field in the Advanced Search bar for the child categories?
2) Would my archive pages then be by state OR state then city OR state then city then category (Italian in this case) OR state then city then category (Italian in this case) then type (linguine in this case) OR alternately would the archive pages start with linguine?
3) Is each listing tied to an archive page? Or each archive page tied to a city or state location? Do I need to set up each archive page individually? If so is it possible to just have 1 for each state?
I appreciate any clarification :)!! Thanks!
