    Hello,
    we installed your plugin and found it is very well made so, well done!

    We’d like to know how we can show the current category subcategories when the user selects a top category.

    For example, let’s say we have a site with ads for computers. Our category tree is:

    PC
    -Laptops
    -Desktops

    Mac
    -iMac
    -Macbook

    When the user clicks the PC top category we want to show only the subcategories of the category they chose, so that the user can filter by

    Laptops Desktops

    Thank you very much for your help.
    Regards

    Hi, hmm i am not sure where you would like to display it: when adding an Ad (in [adverts_add]), in the search form ([adverts_list]) or somewhere else?

    Hello,

    I’ve created an adverts list page with the following shortcodes.

    [adverts_categories show=”top” columns=”4″]
    [adverts_list]

    This outputs a category list above the adverts list similar to this:

    PC [10] MAC [15]

    AD1 AD2 AD3 AD4
    AD5 AD6 AD7 AD8
    AD9 AD10 AD11 AD12
    …
    AD25

    When a user clicks on PC, the ads will be filtered per the PC category and they show up in the page.

    In this destination page I want to be able to show the advert_categories of this level

    For example

    I wanted to see

    LAPTOP [4] DESKTOP [6]

    AD1 AD2 AD3 AD4
    AD5 AD6 AD7 AD8
    AD9 AD10

    And consequently if I click on LAPTOP [4]
    Since it doesn’t have subcategories I should see just the ads

    AD1 AD2 AD3 AD4

    Ohh ok, the [adverts_categories] shortcode does not have such option i am afraid, but please see my reply here (and the next one) https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-categories-not-showed-on-after-clic-on-top-category/#post-10002063 it explains how to have a list of current level categories above [adverts_list].
