HiveNest
Conditional field logic for HivePress listings.
HiveNest is a WordPress plugin for HivePress that lets site owners show or hide listing form fields based on another field's value.
HiveNest is for WordPress site owners using HivePress who need conditional fields on listing submit and edit forms. It shows, hides, and organizes listing fields based on the choices a submitter makes.
Install the plugin now and upgrade when you need more rules. Free mode includes 1 active rule. No license required.
Rules overview
The HiveNest Rules screen keeps active rules, trigger values, child fields, and rule actions visible at a glance.
License status
Licensing is visible in WP Admin, including the free 1-rule mode and paid unlimited-rule plans.
Compatibility check
The Compatibility Check helps you confirm the HivePress environment and spot setup issues.
The problem
HivePress forms can get messy when every field shows at once.
Listing sites often need different details for vehicles, services, rentals, marketplace items, and local providers. When every attribute is visible at the same time, users see irrelevant choices, required fields become confusing, and the form feels heavier than it needs to be.
Many HivePress users solve these problems with custom PHP or JavaScript snippets. That can work for one field, but snippet logic becomes harder to maintain when categories, dropdown values, hidden required fields, and edit forms all need to stay in sync.
