    Hi, I have a pre-sale question. I’ve created custom taxonomy field called “location” with 3 sub-levels > State/County/City
    For example:
    New York
    -New York City
    –Manhattan
    –Queens
    Illinois
    -Chicago
    –Evenest
    –Rosemont
    This field will be used on customer end where customer can select multiple choices. The way it works now it is shown as drop-down and only one option can be selected. How to make it appear as multi select check boxes to allow multiple choices?

    Thank you

    Forgive me, what aspect is this regarding? Something with regards to the shortcode builder in CPTUI-Extended? The taxonomy term meta box in the post editor? Something else? I can’t think of anywhere in our product that has taxonomy terms in a dropdown.

    Hi Michael, thank you for your response. I have the free version of Custom Post Type UI.
    I’ve added a new taxonomy with support Posts (WP Core) called “Location”. I am using PremiumPress directory theme.
    Then I created the following categories under “Location”
    New York
    -New York City
    – – Manhattan
    – – Queens
    Illinois
    -Chicago
    – – Evenest
    – – Rosemont
    So now a new taxonomy “Location” is shown on front end and i would like customers when registering to be able to select multiple locations e.g. Manhattan, Rosemont, …but instead they see a drop down that allows 1 choice only. So really my question boils down to change the type of the taxonomy field created with your module from “drop-down” to “multi-select checkbox” type.

    Honestly, that sounds like a question for PremiumPress, more than our plugin. We don’t have any code that controls/affects frontend output in the theme. We simply make sure the post types and taxonomies are registered and ready to be used by the site owner.

    Does your Extended version helps to output a taxonomy field as multi select checkboxes on front end?
    Wit other words do you have such setting at all?

    No, that’s still a theme-based thing coming from PremiumPress, and whatever it’s doing in this spot. CPTUI-Extended won’t change how it sets up taxonomy term selection, and doesn’t have that sort of option available as a whole.

    The two biggest things about CPTUI-Extended that it offers at the moment are the shortcode builder that helps display post type content wherever a shortcode can be placed, as well as network-wide post types/taxonomies. Nothing for creating a selector module for taxonomy terms.
