0.9.3 use custom permalink of custom taxonomy archive – too many url segments

  • Your new build is great – fixes the posts losing the parent taxonomy URL segments. We have a new issue! As soon as you tick the box to use custom permalink of custom taxonoy archive, the taxonomy URLs are odd.

    It does the same when I specify with_front => true OR with_front => false in the rewrite array for my taxonomy.

    For hierarchical taxonomies, each child segment generates the SOME of the lineage of its parents, not just its own segment. The first level is fine:

    /post-slug/cat-slug/cat-level-1/

    But when a child category gets its URL segment, it ALSO returns the parent, in addition to the parent segment already there:

    /post-slug/cat-slug/cat-level-1/cat-level-1/cat-level-2/

    Then level 3…

    /post-slug/cat-slug/cat-level-1/cat-level-2/cat-level-1/cat-level-2/cat-level-3/

    The tax URL segments should be /1/2/3/ instead of 1/2/1/2/3/

    Thought you’d like to know!

    Just to follow up – documenting this here:

    https://test3.lowcarbbreadcentral.com.au/uncategorized/take-2/ (see item 5 in first table). Posts are perfect, taxonomy pages past level 1 are odd.

    Posts (perfect!)
    L1 post: /slug-p/widgetcat-1/widget-1/
    L2 post: /slug-p/widgetcat-1/widgetcat-2/widget-2/
    L3 post: /slug-p/widgetcat-1/widgetcat-2/widgetcat-3/widget-3/

    Tax pages
    L1 tax : /slug-p/slug-c/widgetcat-1/
    L2 tax : /slug-p/slug-c/widgetcat-1/widgetcat-1/widgetcat-2/
    L3 tax : /slug-p/slug-c/widgetcat-1/widgetcat-2/widgetcat-1/widgetcat-2/widgetcat-3/

    Tax pages (should be)
    L1 tax : /slug-p/slug-c/widgetcat-1/
    L2 tax : /slug-p/slug-c/widgetcat-1/widgetcat-2/
    L3 tax : /slug-p/slug-c/widgetcat-1/widgetcat-2/widgetcat-3/

    The pattern seems to be: {parent/child}/{child} – it’s just pulling in the parent category segment as a full lineage, not just a URL segment of a single tax.

    Ok, I’m crazy. It is NOT doing

    {parent/child}/{child}

    The pattern is (tests & confirmations below)

    {parent}/{child-full-hierarchy-segments}

    To confirm with a Level 3 category (/parent/child/grandchild/)

    |- slug base -|-- parent ---|-- child segments --|
/slug-p/slug-c/wCat-1/wCat-2/wCat-1/wCat-2/wCat-3/

    I made a new 4th level category to confirm it was linear, not recursive:

    |- slug base -|------ parent ------|-------child segments------|
/slug-p/slug-c/wCat-1/wCat-2/wCat-3/wCat-1/wCat-2/wCat-3/wCat-4/

    If it *was* recursively building full hierarchies for every segment, it would look like this:

    |- slug base -|parent|--- child ---|---- grand child----| ---- great grandchild ----|
/slug-p/slug-c/wCat-1/wCat-1/wCat-2/wCat-1/wCat-2/wCat-3/wCat-1/wCat-2/wCat-3/wCat-4/

    But this is NOT happening!

    I’m not good with this stuff, but I gave it a shot and think I have an answer.

    In custom-post-type-permalinks.php, term_link():

    $termlink = str_replace( $term->slug.'/', $this->get_taxonomy_parents( $term->term_id,$taxonomy->name, false, '/', true ), $termlink );

    If I comment this line out, taxonomy URLs are perfect, no 404’s, posts work etc. It is working. On the links below, the modification is in effect. However, you can see the value that WOULD have appeared – at “T11” on these pages:
    parent tax page, child tax page, grandchild tax page.

    Hope this helps.
