Woocommerce URLs issue
3 replies · Started by Sebastian on December 24, 2021
Hello,
The problem I am having is not related to GP.
I would like to create categories and subcategories according to a scheme with URLs. Example:
Woocomerce:
Category name (URL)
Parent: Designer (designer) - test.com/designer/
Sub: Designer New York (new-york)
test.com/designer/new-york/
Second sample category:
Parent: Web Designer (web-designer)
Subcategory: Web Designer New York (new-york)
Every time I save the creation of the second subcategory, the url changes automatically to web-designer-new-york
For example, when we create pages in the page editor, there is no such problem because each page has a parent and wordpress does not treat this as a duplicate.
Is there a simple solution to do this?
Thank You
Hi there,
i really don't know if there is a solution for that.
WordPress requires a unique slug for each category term - For example when you create:
test.com/designer/new-york/
The same page should be reachable with just:
test.com/new-york/
Which is why duplicated category terms have to have different slugs.
The only solution i can think of is to NOT use a sub-category but instead use another taxonomy or attribute for that. Which could be common to all products. But then you may require a developer to create some rewrite rules for the slugs.
Thank You for the answer
You're welcome
