I realized that multiple categories can be added with the ad. I have also been warned that this might cause conflicts with membership plugin and searches and possibly other plugins. Is anyone aware of such conflicts and what they are?
Allowing multiple categories for ad appears like a good selling feature, but it might be not worth it if it creates inconsistences or conflicts with other plugins.
Hi,
The issue is that while WordPress itself typically allows multiple categories, the HivePress framework logic is designed around each listing having a single category. This is because categories function like a “listing type”, many features are built expecting a single category selection (for multiple selections, please consider using custom attributes instead, while categories should remain distinct to serve as the type).
For example, with packages in Paid Listings, if you have multiple categories and category-specific packages, the system would likely require purchasing two packages. Additionally, future features will assume that each listing has one category.
If you’ve tested everything and it’s working fine for your use case, you can cautiously use the available code snippet that allows multiple category selection. However, please note that if issues arise from this customization, we won’t be able to provide support for them.
Hope this helps clarify things
