How to organize custom categories for filtering and selecting

So, after some discussion in other forums, I searched for a plugin to help on the matter and after finding nothing useful, I decided to go other way.

Since it looks like WordPress can’t handle this structure, I’m gonna do a workaround and explain it here because it might be helpfull to others.

MY SOLUTION:

  • I’m gonna create the CPT ‘ads’

  • I’m gonna create the folowing taxonomies for the ‘ads’ CPT:

    • Bikes types
    • Bikes models
    • Bikes sizes
    • Accessories types
    • Accessories models
    • Accessories sizes
      Etc

  • I’m gonna hide all of them from the admin panel on the left.

  • I’m gonna make a page, inside the admin, with the permalink, so the admin can add or delete taxonomies.

That way, I can keep the interface clean and organized.
