    Hi,

    I’m creating a news site and i’ve a problem with the URLs and i don’t know how to fixed it.

    Basically, the site have many categories and subcategories before the post, for example: “Football” and “New york”. So if a article is categorized in “Football” category and “New York” subcategory” i want the URL be like “.com/football/new-york/postname”. So i went to settings and permanent links and put in the personalized structure the following: “/%category%/%subcategory%/%postname%/” and it work until the subcategory pages. When i tried to read a post the URL generated was “/football/%subcategory%/postname” (400 – bad request).

    I tried by removing “/%subcategory%” in Permanent Links but that pages show me a “404 Page Not Found” (for example, “New york” page)

    I don’t know if i’m missing something, but i’ll be glad if anyone could help me.

    Thanks!!

  • Use a permalink structure of:

    /%category%/%postname%/

    When you add a new post, only add it to the sub-category, the resulting URL of that post will show both sub-category and it’s parent category in the URL.

    The post will also be listed under the parent category archive too.

    Hi Themesumo,

    I’ve already did the change that you proposed, but still can’t see the sub-category archive (Page Not Found)

    For example, my category is “Football”, the subcategory is “USA” and then is the article. My idea is to have the “Football” section (archive) with all articles related and also the “USA” section (archive).

    I tried with “/%category%/%subcategory%/%postname%/” but i had problems with the URL articles. I also tried with /%category%/%postname%/ but i had problems with the subcategory archive page.

    Any idea what i’m doing wrong?

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Hey diotla,

    You just need to make the permalink structure link <b>/%category%/%postname%/</b> as earlier ThemeSumo said, and assign the post only subcategory, because a post having multiple category assigned, only one can show up in the permalink. So just need to assign the subcategory only to a post and your parent categories will also be show up in the permalink.

    But if this is not working for you as you said, just save once you permalink and see if it’s all correct. If it’s still not working then just see at the Settings > Permalinks page at the bottom and you’ll find something like:

    “If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all.”
    Just copy the code below these lines and paste in your .htaccess file and see now. May be due to some reason .htaccess file will not be overwritten.

    Hope this will help you.
