Let me clarify something I noticed. When I create a sub-category I can get to the sub-category page by just putting the sub-category name after the forward slash, like http://www.mysite.com/sub-cat
But, http://www.mysite.com/parent-cat/sub-cat does not work
However, when I go to an individual post in my sub-category I can see the parent category and sub-category in the url before the post title
For example: http://www.mysite.com/parent-cat/sub-cat/post-name
I would love to have the parent category and sub-category names in the url for the sub-category page itself. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Have you tried using a trailing slash on the sub-category URL?
The plugin supports what you’ve described so I’m not sure why it isn’t working for you.
Mario, thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I have tried that with no luck. However, what does work when I want to go to the sub-cat category page (not an individual post) is to put the parent category “name” instead of its slug into the url.
For example: http://www.mysite.com/parent-cat-NAME/sub-cat-slug
But…
When I want to go to a post in that sub-category the url is:
http://www.mysite.com/parent-cat-SLUG/sub-cat-slug
Why the “name” in one url and the “slug” in the other? This doesn’t make any sense!
I haven’t heard of that particularly variation before. Have you tried refreshing the permalinks of your site?
1. Go to this page: /wp-admin/options-permalink.php
2. Make note of your current permalink structure.
3. Select Plain and save.
4. Put your preferred permalink structure back in and save again.
Other than the above, I don’t know what else to try. Are you familiar with WordPress’ debugging functionality?
Saving the permalinks does not work either.
And another problem that I found is that a sub-category’s page navigation breaks. Page navigation only works on top level navigation. This is not good.
