Knowing the complexity of your Custom Field filtering

    In regards to your plugin logic for the pro version..

    If I have 3 different custom fields on every post like so…

    – Cats
    – Dogs
    – Birds

    …and the values for Cats,Dogs, and Birds are different for every post, is there a way with this plugin can setup a filter for all posts by having 3 drop down boxes at the bottom of my category landing pages, that will list all cats in the first drop-down, list all dogs in the second drop-down, and list all birds in the third drop-down? The user could select any combination of animals from these 3 drop-downs, and it will filter the posts listed below it.

    Is this possible today with this plugin?

    Hey @blackawxs

    As you’re using different custom fields for the options it probably won’t work.

    What you would need to have another custom field, with only the options you require.

    Then you would have two options:

    1. Assign the relevant Cats, Dogs, Birds to your posts again and use this field with S&F Pro
    2. Automate this using custom code automatically. You can add automated custom fields using WordPress hooks (but requires some development knowledge) – this answer gives a rough outline to the right approach – https://stackoverflow.com/a/26053366/459359

    Thanks
