Restrict ACPS To Some Categories?

    Great plug-in, best so far with custom post type search which has proven to be a bit of a nightmare!

    My EDD (Easy Digital Downloads) driven site has two major categories. I’m trying to build a custom search page for each that limits results to each of the major categories.

    For example:

    Flowers
    Insects

    Under Flowers we could find sub categories about roses, daisies, etc.
    Insects would be similar with ants, spiders, etc.

    FYI: Not my site’s subject, just an illustration!

    So I want to build a search form titled:
    Flower Search

    On it, I’d like to display the sub-categories and tags just related to the flower custom posts, hiding all the insect taxonomy both from the search form and the results.

    Same goes, in reverse, for an Insect search form.

    Make sense?

    Possible?

    Thank you!

    Really? No support replies in over a month? I know the plug-in is free but what good is free if you can’t get any help? I was not expecting instant support, but I did hope for “some” support.

    Shane – seriously – you need to get in here and do some support.

    How did you resolve this? I’m in the same dilemma, I need to restrict search to terms within a specific taxonomy term parent. Or even simpler, exclude a few very specific terms from showing up in the dropdown filter.

    Any ideas?
