Multiple category field for post form

[leew999]

We only can have one category field in a post form, its limiting the ability of the category.

I have 2 case sample here :

1: I have 2 parent/child post category. A/1,2,3,4,5 B/1,2,3,4,5 , B should only appear when user selecting the A/5, so user should select A/5 and then B/2 at the end, but I can't get this done, because we only have one category field, we need to have 2 category field to accomplish this.

2: I have 3 parent/child post category. A/1,2,3,4,5 B/1,2,3,4,5 , C/1,2,3,4,5 , they all means completely different things. I need user to choose one of child term from each of them for their post.. at the moment I can only showing them all together in a very long selection list in one category field, which doesn't look professional and nice. and its no way to mix different category into one list. its better to have 3 different category selection field for user to choose each of their child.

Both case are pretty fundamental for a post form, I don't understand why limiting the ability of category field by only allow to have one of this field. at the moment, we can only create simple post form with only one category selection. if we need more than one category selection, seems the user-frontend is not the option, can we make this change to the future version.

1: there is a multi-select option for the category field, so means we can have more than one taxonomy terms for each of the post by using the plugin, just on the UI level, we can only have one category field which is limiting the ability of the field 2: The Conditional Logic option on the category field seems doesn't work at the moment, its wasting the opportunities, by having more than one category field, we can use the Conditional Logic , and we can create a clean/better post form which doesn't need to squeeze all the category terms into only field

@leew999 Thanks for your concern. as we map taxonomies with WP core/registered taxonomies, it doesn't make sense for multiple option for same taxonomy i.e category.

we have various option how you'll show taxonomies. these option covers most of the necessities.

We consider your queries if you please provide use case where it's exactly needed and for better demonstration provide some screencast etc (Provide total workflow i.e on post creation and edit option, ). we will implement this if we get enough use case.

zamandevs let's say we have 5 parent category, each of them has 10 child terms, we need user to select the terms from each of the parent taxonomy. at the moment, we have to put all 5 parent taxonomy and total 50 terms into one single category field. this is totally unprofessional. in the normal practice, we should have 5 different cateogry field, so user will choose the terms for their post. this is fundamental for a standard content post website. at the moment, the user-frontend just not doing the job, can't be used in a professional content website. thanks
