Breadcrumbs for magazine style page

  • I am creating a wordpress page for a magazine and I want to use the breadcrumb plugin in order to be able to browse pages from categories of one magazine issue.

    The breadcrumb should look as follows (let’s pretend the magazin is called “art magazine”): Art Magazine #1 > Subcategory A > Subsubcategory B

    When the user clicks on “Subcategory A”, he should see all articles that belong to this category. However, when following this approach, I need to duplicate all subcategories (and subsubcategories and so on) for each issue of the magazine. E.g. for issue #2 I would need the category-strcuture “Art Magazine #2\Subcategory A\Subsubcategory B” and so on… Since I have many categories, this is not a feasible approach.

    Hence, my question is how can I use the breadcrumb plugin so that users can browse articles based on categories per issue (as described above).

    Thank you very much.

    Unfortunately, this is not an easy thing to accomplish. WordPress doesn’t really support many-to-many relationships with hierarchical terms (e.g. WordPress does not support multiple parents for terms). The only way I can think of to deal with this is either separate categories/duplicates for each magazine issue, or configure WordPress to be in a network/multisite setup with each issue/magazine in its own sub-site (then use something to create/manage global categories/taxonomy terms).
