    Hi, thanks for your wonderful plugin. Using it for classifieds, I would like to know if you know a way of importing categories and subcategories, especially for Vehicles as there is a hundred of makes and thousands of models. It took about a month to create a perfect criss-crossed .xml .csv file to save time by importing it. Thinking at redoing it make by make and model by model gives me a headache already 🙂 Thanks

    Hi, found the solution with Category Import Reloaded plugin.
    Now is there a way to limit the number of categories levels appearing on Search?

    To something like the site I try replacing: http://prntscr.com/rbqe0n
    If I import all makes and models, the search list is going to be massive and very very lengthy. Not counting Real Estate, jobs, services etc..
    Thanks

    It is not possible for now, but we can give you a filter hook for that.

    This is a bit confusing to us, would you please explain us a little more.

    Thanks for your answer. What I was trying to say is that if I cannot limit the level number of categories, sub1, sub2 in the main search, the list users will see will be too long. E.g with Volvo only: http://prntscr.com/rc4mjq
    As you can see, Volvo is the 2904 entry, so the very long list.
    What I want to achieve is:
    Cat: Vehicles
    Sub1: Cars
    Sub2: sedans
    coupes
    4X4
    etc.. in Home page search. Like this: http://prntscr.com/rc4rxk

    Then when user has made the choice of sedans, the other search in sidebar is going to refine what is available in term of makes: http://prntscr.com/rc4t4c

    And if the choice is Dodge, user sees only Dodge Coupes available: http://prntscr.com/rc4vj6

    Same for Fuel type, Gearbox type… which I’ll set as custom fields to be filled by sellers on “submit your listing” page.
    So yes and thank you for the hook code that will limit the main search to 3 levels, the other variables should be taken care of with different search widgets depending of category page (another plugin to find).

    Where do I enter the hook in functions.php? http://prntscr.com/rc59yk
    Thanks a lot.
