    Hello there- Iv’e been using this plugin for months now and it’s great but I can’t figure out the best method of having County and the location form separated.
    I want a user to be able to Section a country from a drop-down menu from the category list.

    The problem being that every time I select my Categories as a source it display all of my categories instead of just “country and the sub category of United Kingdom, USA etc.

    What is the best method of allowing a user to enter a Country separate from a town and city. I need users to be able to browse adverts by county also.
    Letting a user type a county manually isn’t an option.

    Kind Regards

    @louisderry, if you’re not a developer this is not something you can do easily.

    Here are some of the thins you would need:
    1. Create a new hierarchical taxonomy (like categories) called ‘Countries’. Check the official codex examples.
    2. Use a child theme to customize the classified submission form to add your new ‘Countries’ field
    3. Add the PHP code that handles the new field and assigns it to the classified
    4. Use a child theme to edit the single classified page to show the selected Country value

    This is not easy to do, unless you’re familiarized with PHP and child themes.

    We would suggest you ask the help of a developer or wait for our own custom form solution. We’re currently working on a custom form add-on that should help users that need to customize the main submission form. No official release date yet.

    Stay tuned for more info.
