Custom Field Options or Taxonomies – these are the predefined choices associated with a custom field. For example, if your custom field is “Make” options could be “BMW”, “Ford”, or “Chevrolet”. Similarly, if the custom field is “Transmission”, its options might be “Manual” or “Automatic”. By defining options, you maintain consistent and organized data across your listings, as users select from a predefined list rather than entering arbitrary values.

Manage Custom Field Options (taxonomies)

To make changes to the Options of the Custom Field (listing categories), follow these steps:

1

Open the necessary custom field details by following WP Dashboard > Motors Plugin > Custom Fields:

2

Click on the Manage Options button:

3

On the opened page you can see the options (taxonomies) for this Custom Field:

On this page, you can review, add, edit, or remove the existing options.

How to Edit Existing Options (taxonomies)

Existing options (taxonomies) can be modified or removed in an opened window:

  • Name - provide the name that appears on your site.

  • Slug - the “slug” is the URL-friendly version of the name. It is usually all lowercase and contains only letters, numbers, and hyphens.

  • Parent Taxonomy - you can assign a parent term to create a hierarchy. The term (Mercedes-Benz) G-Class, for example, would be the parent of G63 AMG and G500.

  • Description - this field can be used to take internal note about the taxonomy. However, it will not be displayed on your website.

Adding additional taxonomies can be beneficial for modifying the minimum and maximum values of numerical fields like Price.

How to Add Image to Custom Field Options?

Attaching an image to the Custom Field Options (taxonomies) lets you display this image on grid and list info cards, different Elementor widgets, search filters, etc. It can be a great illustration to attract clients. For instance, you can attach brand images of the manufacturers to the taxonomies of the Make custom field.

Let's see how to do it as an example of Make:

1
2

There is a form to add a new taxonomy to the selected custom field on the right side of the opened page. Add a new 'Porsche' custom field option (taxonomy) as an example by providing name and slug.

3

Upload the image to the Category Image field and click on the Add New Make. In our case, the image is the logo of Porsche.

This image can be displayed in various areas: in search filters, Elementor Widgets, info cards, etc.

Category Image - that illustrates this custom field. For example, if your taxonomy is BMW, you can upload the logo of BMW. This image will be displayed in several places on your website.

Follow to open the options (taxonomies) of the Make custom field:
