    There should be a true/false dropdown when editing the taxonomy settings that sets it to hierarchical. After that, your example above would be a case of about “five generations” of terms each with the parent above them.

    Not sure what the taxonomy is in this case, possibly something like “geolocation” or similar.

    Thanks you @tw2113 . i already implemented same solutions as you suggest. i thought we can established hierarchical relationship between taxonomies type also, but that’s not possible.

    Ahh, gotcha. Yeah this is just for terms within a single taxonomy. WordPress doesn’t allow for hierarchies between taxonomies and the terms within each.

    For example if you had a taxonomy of Genre, and then also a taxonomy of Director, you wouldn’t be able to make a Director term of “Steven Spielberg” and a Genre term of “Musical” and have them play together, also because Spielberg doesn’t do musicals that I know of ??
