Thread: Problem with create listing categories

Problem with create listing categories

When a user is choosing a category for their listing, it is allowing them to post in parent categories only. I want them to choose a sub-category. The parent category should only be an overview of everything posted in the sub-categories. This makes the site very un-organised for someone using it. The way Classipress has handled it perfect, Vantage is so basic compared to Classipress and i am borderline scrapping this Vantage theme and modifying Classipress to be used as a directory.

This is how the category selector currently looks on Vantage:

As you can see they are free to choose just a parent category if they want. Where as users choosing a sub-category will get the benefit of it being listed in both.

Here is how Classipress has done it:

As you can see, they are made to choose a main category and then a sub-category. This keeps the site organised.

How can i change Vantage so they are choosing just a sub-category for their listing or a main category and then being forced to choose a relevant sub-category after?

Thanks
