 * Hi Designs & Code Team,
 * I greatly appreciate the work you have put in to come up with this plugin.
 * I have a need which I am not sure whether it is in the scope of this plugin or
   the PRO version. Please advise based on the following question and example.
 * If I have two taxonomy fields i.e subject & course. Sample taxonomies & posts
   are as follows;
    subject – Maths, English,Science course – MathsEasy, EnglishEasy,
   MathsEasy, EnglishHard posts(attached subject,course taxonomies) – postA(Maths,
   MathsEasy), postB(Maths,MathsHard), postC(English,EnglishEasy), postD(English,
   EnglishHard)
 * Is it possible to enter subject e.g Maths and then trigger a function to populate
   the course field to only show only MathsEasy & MathsHard options by first querying
   the posts results i.e. postA and postB where subject = maths and then identifying
   the unique available course taxonomies. i.e MathsEasy & MathsHard.
 * I hope I am making sense 🙂
 * This would spare user from
    1. selecting “no result” search and filter combinations
   2. reduce scrolling of dropdown to find desired taxonomy option where hundreds
   are available.
 * Many Thanks,
 * Arnold

 * This is a great suggestion and will be coming to the pro plugin in a couple of
   months (it is probably the most difficult feature to include in a plugin like
   this 😉 )

 * Thank you for the response.
 * Greatly appreciate that you have considered the feature request for the Search&
   Filter Pro.
 * Looking forward to it and will certainly be ‘first in line’ to purchase!
