The Listeo Drilldown Menu is a hierarchical, multi-level dropdown menu that allows users to navigate through nested categories efficiently. Built-in search bar filters items dynamically, highlighting matches.
How to enable? Simply edit category/region filter in Listeo Editor and set it to “DrillDown”
Then create parent and child categories in WordPress Dashboard → Listings → Categories.You can create as many submenus as you want with unlimited depth.
Alternative more complex approach
This method uses Event/Service/Rentals/Classified categories which do not work with DrillDown menu shown above.
An example of usage
In this example we created main category “Real Estate” (in “Categories”) and assigned a few sub categories in “Rentals Categories”
In our example, when a user selects the Real Estate category, an additional filter appears after searching to refine listings by type. For example, if a user chooses “Real Estate” as the main category and then “Apartments” under the rental listing type, they will see apartments for rent. If they want to see apartments for sale, they can browse Real Estate categories tied to the “Classified” listing type.
Listeo offers listing type taxonomies (Rental Categories, Service Categories, Event Categories) to be related to the main Listing Category taxonomy.
How to use it?
Consider a scenario where you have a main category titled Real Estate. Within this category, you assign sub-categories related to the Rental listing type, such as “Apartments for Rent” or Classified listing type such as “Houses for Sale”
Users (in search form): Upon selecting the Real Estate category in the search form, users will see additional filters allowing them to narrow down listings specifically to listing type under Real Estate, such as choosing between “Apartments for Rent” (rental listing type) or “Houses for Sale” (classified).
Listing Owners (in add listing form): When adding a new listing and selecting the Rental listing type, owners will only main categories Real Estate and sub categories tied to Rental listing type like “Apartments for Rent” or “Houses for Rent” ensuring their listing is accurately placed.
To use that option, go to Listeo Core → Browse/Search Options → Make “listing type” taxonomy related to categories – set to Enabled.
Now, when you edit any category in Listings → Categories, you can set to which Listing Type taxonomy it will be connected
Now, you have to have in Search Form all those taxonomies added as element (You can add them in Listeo Editor → Search Forms).
The listing type related categories search field (rental/service/event) will be displayed now based on user selection of Listing Category.
Also make sure to check in Listeo Editor if listing submission form has subcategory field added, if not click “add new field” and add it. When Listing Owner will go to Add Listing page form, he will see only categories in Listing Category field that are related to the Listing Type he chose on first step.
