Location Filtering

    Hi, I downloaded your directory plugin, and it’s almost exactly what I’m looking for.

    One need, I would like to be able to have business listings by location. So have a page for, say Washington DC, with a link to restaurants, attractions, bars, hotels, etc.

    Then another page for say New York City, with the categories.

    What would be the best way to do this. My hope is to also have a page like Restaurants that shows all of them both cities, and allows visitors to filter them.

    How could this be accomplished using your plugin?

    Thank you!

    Hi Larry,

    A few options/suggestions for you. I would set the business type (restaurant, hotel, etc) as a standard taxonomy similar to the built in “category” taxonomy that is attached to the posts. For the location I would use a custom field which you can setup through ACF or another custom field plugin. We’ve got a similar setup here: https://firstpeaknc.com/business-category/bed-and-breakfasts-and-inns/

    We are using facetWP to filter down and the filter mechanism is a mixture of custom fields and taxonomies.

    Let me know if this works out for you or if you need any other direction on this. We’ve got probably 30-40 sites setup very similar to what you’re trying to accomplish.

    Thanks,
    Boomer

    p.s. If it works out for you, please drop us a review on the repo.
