    Add sub-categories option for each ad?

    When a user posts an ad, he is required to choose a category for his ad. What I want is aside from this major category, I want members to give optional sub-categories which they can check. With this, I can easily have a Search engine on the main board that will show all ads on a certain sub-category.

    For example, for my Car Ads site, my main category is the car brand: Honda, Toyota, etc. Aside from this option, I want an optional sub-categories that a user can check for example:

    Sub-Category 1: Price
    - Under $xxx
    - $xxx - $xxxx
    - Above $xxxx

    Sub-Category 2: Location
    - Location 1
    - Location 2
    - etc.

    Please tell me how I can add these optional sub-categories in the "Post Ad' page. Thanks!

    I would setup a multi-select box on the ad page for the categories field. That way your visitors can select numerous categories. I'm not sure how that would save in WordPress so you might want to test it a bit first.
