Wordpress - Show parent category AND subcategory name in subcategory archive URL

Question

I\'m having some trouble with Wordpress category/subcategory archive URLs.

For example, I want to be able to display this archive:
http://fa

Answer 1

To make this happen you need to make some change in permalinks

go to Settings->Permalinks then select custom structure and use this syntax " /%category%/%postname%/ "in the field

Now save the settings and you can see the post url's using its category name in the permalink

Hope it helps :)

Answer 2

If use custom permalinks settings as %postname% only, it will make your url in the form of .../category/subcategory.

Answer 3

You should set hierarchical value to true when you are defining your taxonomy.

'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'mySlug', 'hierarchical' => true),

Then if you have a subcategory the url will be shown like this: http://example.com/taxonomy/parentCategory/subCategory/

I found this sloution here:

Answer 4

This happens because you chose category and subcategory from the right options tick boxes when editing the entry. Choose only the subcategory box in every entry and it will show the nested URL.

Answer 5

You can use WordPress plugin to remove 'category' from url http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-no-category-base/ and then follow the instruction given by Maruti

Answer 6

Actually hierarchical subcategory archive permalinks are default in wordpress.

If you have a "pretty permalinks" structure selected in settings > permalinks, like /%postname% for example, then category and subcategory archive urls should default to something like: yourdomain.com/category-base/category/sub-category/sub-sub-category

I had encountered a similar issue with a recent WP project, BUT I was using a plugin called WP No Base Permalink in order to get rid of my category and tag base slugs in my archive permalinks. When I deactivated the plugin, category hierarchy suddenly returned to my archive permalinks (luckily this project was still in development, otherwise, I would have had some major 404 problems).

I have not yet found/tested another plugin for eliminating category/tag base slugs that will also preserve hierarchy in sub/category archive urls, but it turns out that I do not need that functionality for my current project.

Instead I am using the base slugs blog-articles and blog-tags for the standard categories and tags in order to set the blog taxonomies apart from other taxonomies. Then I am using the plugin Types to create a custom post type and custom taxonomies for that post type. The Types plugin has an option in the advanced settings to set hierarchical taxonomy urls to true or false when creating a custom taxonomy.

Finally, I found a plugin called Remove Taxonomy Base Slug that effectively eliminates the default taxonomy term from the base slug of the taxonomy archive urls. And this, thankfully, does not interfere with the hierarchical sub/category urls, OR the base slugs for standard tags and categories.

So now, my blog categories/tags look like this:

yourdomain.com/blog-articles/category/sub-category/ or yourdomain.com/blog-tags/tag/

And my custom post type categories/tags look like this:

yourdomain.com/category/sub-category/ or yourdomain.com/tag/

Phew!

I hope this helps!
