Title: Impressive Plugin, One Question Last modified: April 13, 2018 --- # Impressive Plugin, One Question * Resolved [bward](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bward/) * (@bward) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impressive-plugin-one-question/) * The main reason I need this plugin is to filter the custom post type (CPT) down to the custom taxonomy. It works for that if I have “Enable conditional dropdown values:” selected which says it is a “beta” feature. * However, without this enabled, if I used the filter an select “articles” in the live example on the link I provided. I am shown basically a broken page. * The reason… I have no “Bible Questions” CPT with “articles” (custom taxonomy) in my demo. However, I do have a “Bible Study” CPT with “articles” (custom taxonomy). * The filter tool sees that “Bible Study” CPT from within the “Bible Questions” CPT archive as seen here: [http://worldeventsandthebible.com/bible-questions](http://worldeventsandthebible.com/bible-questions) * I thought it was not supposed to work that way? * I just want to ensure before I make this live on our site I am not overlooking anything within my own structure. * Thanks so much. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fimpressive-plugin-one-question%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * Plugin Author [Jonathan de Jong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonathandejong/) * (@jonathandejong) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impressive-plugin-one-question/#post-10184972) * Hi [@bward](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bward/) * Seems you’ve moved past this in your live link provided 🙂 * I’m not 100% following your setup. But it sounds to me that either you have a taxonomy setup for two different CPTs OR there are terms in a taxonomy that should not appear for a CPT? If it’s the latter.. are the taxonomy connected to multiple CPTs? * Thread Starter [bward](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bward/) * (@bward) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impressive-plugin-one-question/#post-10186142) * [@jonathandejong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonathandejong/) I changed it up on you, sorry about that, but I certainly appreciate the response! * I did have a third drop down on that page, but ended up combining it into the drop-down labeled “Resources”. After looking over this again, I do not see the issue anymore… I wonder if I had caused my own issue and fixed it when I combined one of the menus? * I do have multiple custom taxonomies, so CPT 1 and CPT 2, both have Tax 1 and Tax 2 assigned to them for use, though they may not specifically be in use by a post. * Example of the issue I did have. * CPT 1: Tax-1 * CPT 2: Tax-1, Tax-2 * On the filter of the archive for CPT 1. I would see Tax-2 as an option, which is not valid since it was not assigned to a post with CPT 1. If I selected that( Tax 2) filter value and selected “apply filter” I would get a broken page as CPT 1 does not have Tax 2 assigned. However, if I selected “Enable conditional dropdown values” I did not have this issue. Though I still saw “Tax-2” even though CPT 1 does not have a Tax 2 value. * It was a bit confusing from a user level perspective. Again, since I removed that third drop down menu, I do not see this anymore and it functions how I expect. * If you cannot shed any light on that, no worries, I just do not want to have issues at a later date when we roll this out. * Thanks so much! * Plugin Author [Jonathan de Jong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonathandejong/) * (@jonathandejong) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impressive-plugin-one-question/#post-10189248) * Ah yeah you can see some discussion going on about this here as well: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-filter-empty-taxonomy-per-custom-post-type/#post-10189235](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-filter-empty-taxonomy-per-custom-post-type/#post-10189235) * The problem is that wp_dropdown_categories which BTFs dropdowns are based on does not handle multiple taxonomies connected to multiple CPTs too well. So in short: to avoid any issues dont use the same taxonomies for multiple CPTs. at least for now. * Thread Starter [bward](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bward/) * (@bward) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impressive-plugin-one-question/#post-10192139) * I see. For our setup we have to share the custom taxonomy with our CPTs, at least most of them. Good to know I was not losing my mind! If you can swing an update at some point I’m sure many would appreciate an already great plugin.
