I'm having some trouble with Wordpress category/subcategory
archive URLs.
For example, I want to be able to display this archive:
http://faroutmagazine.co.uk/wp/track-of-the-day
while keeping its parent category in the URL, making it http://faroutmagazine.co.uk/wp/music/track-of-the-day
Previously, I was just getting a "This is embarrassing..." 404 message when accessing the /music/track-of-the-day
URL (even though that's the one that was appearing in the View option under categories in the admin section of WP).
Now the View link in the admin area only shows me the /track-of-the-day
URL, and this DOES display the category posts which is great, but I want it to include the parent category in the URL.
Is there anything I can do to the functions.php
file or any plugins I can add to make this happen? Please bear in mind that there are multiple subcategory archives on this site, and they should all contain the parent category in the URL.
***UPDATE:
I actually have just set everything up a different way now using Pages and showing category archives on pages as it's taking up too much time. Thanks for your answer though. People telling me to use %category%/%postname%
as the permalink structure are incorrect - yes, this works for the POST urls but not for the archive category of the subcategory which is the problem I was actually looking for help with. If anyone can provide an answer, it would be appreciated, but I am using this workaround now as this was taking up way too much time trying to figure out.
