 * I installed YMC on WordPress with the MyListing theme.
 * My goal is to filter listings with a dependent filter.
   Each listing has 3 taxonomies(
   Brand > Type > Model).
 * I configured the filter like this:
   Post Type > Listing, I selected the 3 taxonomies
   and set the sequence Brand > Type > Model.Layout > Dependent filter.
 * When I go to the search page, the listings display correctly.
 * I am facing two problems:
   1 – When I click on the first level, the second level
   shows “No terms available”.2 – I have brands with 0 listings, but the terms are
   still displayed.
 * Thank you for your help.

 * Hi!
 * You need to configure the dependent filter correctly. The “No terms available”
   message indicates that the terms in this taxonomy are unavailable. You need to
   build a dependency chain between taxonomies and terms. Additionally, the terms
   must be available in each taxonomy. Carefully check all the settings for this
   filter, as there are many of them, and it’s difficult for us to advise you without
   seeing the current settings.

 * Ok, thanks, I didn’t notice this configuration window 
   One more thing— is there
   a way for the selection window to close automatically when the cursor moves away?
   Right now, you have to click outside or on the little ‘X’ at the top.

 * Currently, you need to manually close the window by clicking outside the drop-
   down list area or by clicking the cross icon. To implement your idea, you’ll 
   need to implement this custom way in JavaScript.
