How to change categories field type in the filtrable zone

[solanojosias5]

I would like to change the type of field of categories in the filterable area for a select field. Additionally, I would like to change the text of the field, instead of “All categories” place “Browse by make”

Hi,
To change the type of field, please try this PHP snippet:

add_filter(
	'hivepress/v1/forms/listing_filter',
	function( $form_args, $form ) {
		
		if(isset($form_args['fields']['_category'])){
			$form_args['fields']['_category'] = array_merge(
				$form_args['fields']['_category'],
				[
					'label' => 'Categories',
					'type' => 'select',
                    'multiple' => true, 
				]
			);
		}

		return $form_args;
	},
	1000,
	2
);

To change the text of the field, please follow these instructions to translate any static text within HivePress, its themes, or extensions How to translate HivePress - HivePress Help Center.
