    Hello.

    How can I have Price Range to actually show a price range?

    Right now it shows:

    $
    $$
    $$$
    $$$$

    Which tells nothing to a customer.

    Two fields are needed there.

    From:
    To:

    That way you see:

    Price Range
    $25 – $60

    Telling the customer actually what the price range is, not some symbols that tells nothing.

    How can I change that?

    Thanks.

    You can use the same field, but change the option values to the units you want. It would be like 20,000-30,000 instead of $$, 30,000-40,000 instead of $$$

    So I have to decide the place price?

    I can’t enter a value. A restaurant can be $80 – $140 and another one $15 – $60.

    You can’t decide the price range from a place, it has to be entered.

    Thanks.

    Yes, but maybe you can think of another way to do it and make a new predefined custom field that does what you want.

    An idea, maybe just add two fields?

    Like:
    Quick meal price: (text input)
    Full meal price: (text input)

    The problem is that I don’t decide that.

    X place, I want to add my place to the directory.
    My price range is:

    *You only have this options, even if it is completely wrong.

    Thats the problem.

    If I have a place, I have my own price range and that will be unique, I have to enter it, not choose to see what is the better fit, even if it is wrong.

    In my place the price range is:
    $25 – $45

    Exactly, no options.

    Makes sense?

    SO, add a text field and give them instructions to input the value in that format.
    Make sense?

    But I have to define what is shown. There are no inputs so the place owner can write the values.

    Or maybe I am missing something?

    Thanks.

    There are several field types you can use. You could try a select for the low price, and a select for the high price, or two text fields, or one text field for a range.
    Try it out and let us know how it goes.

    Change the options from [example only]

    Select Price Range/,$,$$,$$$,$$$$

    to 

    Select Price Range/,$25-$50,$40-$80,$44-$99

    And if a place is $70 – $200 which one you choose as a place owner?
    If it is $150 – $300?

    This is not an option to choose yes or no. Price range has unique values per place, that is the problem I need to fix.

    Thanks.

    Then the only option will be to use a textarea or text field.
    Thanks

    And how can I do that?

    With that the owner enters whatever they need to, exactly what makes more sense.

    Thanks.

    Add a new textarea or text field at Places [or other CPT] > Settings > Custom fields, and allow the owner to enter what they want.
