Hello hello.
For fear this is going to sound like a bunch of stupid questions, here goes anyway.
I’m trying to work out how to set up the elements within CPTs. A few general guidelines as to how the developers see these working together would be helpful.
My site, a travel guide, will have multi-locations: numerous towns plus national forests, state forests and wilderness areas.
I get that categories must be places with an address, within the locations.
I see how subcategories can work — Italian subcategory under Restaurants. Toy store under Retail Stores. But for my other CPTs I’m confused. (See below.)
I’m unclear as to how tags should work.
I think I get how custom searches should work — the most common features the visitor is looking for such as Pet Friendly.
Help me with a few examples:
–A CPT for Waterfalls — there are 276 in our county alone
How can I indicate they are accessible by car? By a short hike? By a long hike? With tags? Searches? Subcategories?
–A CPT for Trails
How can I indicate they if are foot trails, horse trails, mountain biking trails? (Some trails can be one or more.) Easy, moderate or difficult? Subcategories or tags?
-Then there are is the CPT for the many mountains people will want to visit.
How do I indicate if they are accessible by car or by trail? By foot trail or mountain biking trail? With a long-range view or a short-range view?
I’m sure a clear structure will emerge once I dive into all this, but I can also see myself setting things up only to reorganize them. A couple guidelines would help as to how you see subcategories, tags and custom searches working within your directory.
Many thanks for the pointers!
