Description

Turn your WordPress custom-post taxonomies into a search powerhouse! This plugin gives you the ability to provide your users with a widget full of dropdowns based upon parent terms (criterias) and their sub-terms (options).

For example, if you have multiple countrie terms in a country parent term, you can search throw custom-post by selecting one of the countries.

You can use this plugin as a widget or in a content with a shortcode.

  • Terms selection (parents/criterias and children/options), can manually sort them
  • Automatic addition of the new terms/options in the selection, or not, with alphabetical re-ordering or not
  • Simple or multiple selection

  • Let the user choose the search type

  • Can use a shortcode
