Multiple Parents in custom taxonomy

    Hello,
    I would like to know if your plug-in (as-is, or whether one or more add-ons) will allow for the following scenario:

    1) Set up a custom taxonomy for WooCommerce product, called BRANDS

    2) Set up a number of “Parent Brands” (not actually brands themselves, but is used as a way of organising the brands into sub-sets)

    E.g.

    > CANADA BRANDS
    > > Brand 1
    > > Brand 2

    > USA BRANDS
    > > Brand 3
    > > Brand 4

    ** I understand the above two steps are readily achievable, as this is standard for WordPress taxonomies **

    3) Is it then possible to make a Brand a child of more than one “Parent Brand”?

    E.g.

    > CANADA BRANDS
    > > Brand 1
    > > Brand 2
    > > Brand 5

    > USA BRANDS
    > > Brand 3
    > > Brand 4
    > > Brand 5

    4) So, now when user views a taxonomy archive page for USA BRANDS it will display Brand 1, 4 and 5 on it.

    And if user views a tax. archive page for CANADA BRANDS it will display Brand 1, 2 and 5.

    Is this achievable with your Meta Box plug-in?

    Thank you,

    Jonathan

    Hi Jonathan,

    Thank you for reaching out.

    1, 2. Yes, we can create a custom taxonomy for WooCommerce Product then create terms and child terms as well.

    3, 4. We can also create a connection between terms by using MB Relationships but it is not the regular child terms. That means you can create Brand 5 as a child term of CANADA BRANDS and create a connection from USA BRANDS to Brand 5 but cannot set it as a child term.

    Hi @longnguyen89

    Thanks for your reply.

    So just to confirm the end result and what can be achieved …

    Regarding your 3 & 4 answer, using MB Relationships, will I then be in a position to display an archive page for USA BRANDS and it will include BRAND 5 (along with B3 and B4, in my example); and, I can display an archive page for CANADA BRANDS and it will also display BRAND 5 in its content (along with B1 and B2, as per my example) ??

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Yes, you can do that. But with some custom code to show the relationship. Please get more details on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-relationships/#getting-connected-items
