Category Dropdown not displaying all values

Question

I select Category as a Domain List filter in My Domain List Pro setting in WP Admin. I also have a large list of Domain categories; however, only a few of them are displayed to the user on my Domain page/post

 

Domain List Filter:
Select item to allow filtering

Answer

There are few things you need to double check on your site:

  • Did you create Domain categories? The category values displayed for the domain names are different than the WP Post categories. Be sure that you are creating categories under the All Domains section in WP Admin left hand side

MyDomainListProAdminMenu

  • The category dropdown will only show values if there are domain names assigned to it. So, you can have a large list of categories, but if no domain name is assigned a categories, values won’t be displayed. Be sure to assign a category to your domain names.
  • Finally, if your shortcode has a category filtering to it, it will only display the categories assigned to the displayed domains. For example, if I have
    my-domain-list-pro show="owner, price, offer,buy" category="Brasil"/

    as shortcode, then my category dropdown will only show Brasil as value.

    * It can possibly display other values if your domain names have multiple categories associated with it.
