 * Hi
 * I have created a custom taxonomy called “Material”s, works great thanks 🙂
 * You can see it bottom right here [https://www.commissionit.co.uk/product-category/bespoke-suits-furniture-jewellery-kitchens](https://www.commissionit.co.uk/product-category/bespoke-suits-furniture-jewellery-kitchens)
 * I would like to create a dropdown selection filter for these “materials” on a
   few pages including my homepage [https://www.commissionit.co.uk](https://www.commissionit.co.uk)
 * How do I do that and ideally would be good if the selection happens without clicking
   a go button after selection?
 * Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftaxonomy-dropdown-filter%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Not a feature we have any specific functionality for, but something like [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dropdown_categories](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dropdown_categories)
   may prove useful. That page has 2 examples that relate to submitting without 
   a submit button. Biggest thing to keep in mind is that despite it says “categories”,
   it is able to be used with any taxonomy via the arguments available to it.

 * Another question would be, how can i get the list of materials from the
    taxonomy
   in [https://www.commissionit.co.uk/product-category/bespoke-suits-furniture-jewellery-kitchens](https://www.commissionit.co.uk/product-category/bespoke-suits-furniture-jewellery-kitchens)
 * to show on a different page horizontally?
 * Is this possible?
 * Thanks

 * I imagine it is, but it’s going to likely be a custom solution still. Ultimately,
   if I’m following everything, you’re wanting to query for and display, in some
   way, all the material terms you currently have. You also want to provide ways
   to send the visiting user to their archive or at least show products that have
   said material assigned to them. It’s going to be a case of custom code to get
   things output to the screen, and then any needed style/css changes to have them
   display the way you want. I don’t have any readymade snippets of code to provide
   to help achieve anything, so the best I can do is just offer ideas or leads for
   what to search for.
 * From what I’m able to discern, you’re using [https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-products-filter/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-products-filter/)
   which is doing a lot of heavy lifting with that sidebar.

 * Still going to be a lot of details that are above the scope of CPTUI support,
   since we don’t touch the frontend at all directly. Our focus with the plugin 
   is to get things registered for use elsewhere. At that point, it’s up to the 
   site owner from then on out.
