   Hi,

   I'm making a business listing directory.

   I created a custom taxonomy called [business_status] with 2 options 'Businesses For Sale' and 'Businesses Sold'.

   I then created another custom taxonomy called [business_category]
   that shows whether it's 'wholesale' or 'retail' etc.

   I want to show [business_category] categories in a list but only those maked as 'Businesses For Sale' in [business_status].

   To list the [business_category] I can simply use this:

   <?php 
   
   $taxonomy     = 'business_category';
   $orderby      = 'name';
   $show_count   = 0;      // 1 for yes, 0 for no
   $pad_counts   = 0;      // 1 for yes, 0 for no
   $hierarchical = 1;      // 1 for yes, 0 for no
   $title        = '';
   
   $args = array(
     'taxonomy'     => $taxonomy,
     'orderby'      => $orderby,
     'show_count'   => $show_count,
     'pad_counts'   => $pad_counts,
     'hierarchical' => $hierarchical,
     'title_li'     => $title
   );
   ?>
   
   <ul>
   <?php wp_list_categories( $args ); ?>
   </ul>

   But how do you limit this list to only show the businesses that are for sale?

   I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

   I'm starting to think this kind of website is completely impossible in WordPress. Without using AJAX to filter the posts I don't understand how I can show the specific posts I want based on whether they are sold or for sale.

   For example I changed to just normal posts with categories and tags. The 2 categories are [For Sale] and [Sold]. Then I use tags to show the types of businesses they are, example 'Retail'.

   Now there doesn't seem to be any way at all of creating a list of tags specific to the category that will link to a page that shows posts with that tag in that specific category. For example a page of posts that has the tag 'Retail' and are marked as 'For Sale'.

   Does anybody know what I'm talking about here or am I missing something really basic?

   I created a page called 'Businesses for sale'. And I show all the posts in the category [for sale]. That's all good, but say I want a list of tags in the sidebar that will filter these businesses for sale. Its impossible right?

   If I click on a tag it shows every post that has that tag regardless of the category. Please help, cause I am about to give up on WordPress lol.
