Connect parent/child products and their permalinks

Hello @makeupedia,

That’s an interesting idea. The “product” post type that’s part of WooCommerce isn’t hierarchical like WordPress pages are. It has a flat organization structure like blog posts do. There aren’t parent/child relationships with them.

One way to approach this would be to make the “parent” level a product category and then add the category to the URL structure.

Here’s how to do that.

• Go to the Settings section in your dashboard and click on Permalinks.
• Scroll down to the “Product Permalinks” section.
• Select the “Shop Base with Category” option.
• Save your changes.

See if that is a way to get you closer to the permalink structure you’re after.

Cheers

Hello and thank you! I tried your example and also tested it in different ways, it’s okey but not what I’m looking for. I’m very fussy about the breadcrumbs are being correct and customized ‘my way’ as well. I want to separate the categories and the products, I don’t want them in the same taxonomy so to speak.

I made it work with the “Custom permalink” plugin. It is not optimal though, I’ll continue search so I can uninstall plugins rather than add more ??

Update: I found out I could add the page attributes to woocommerce products, and add and active the wordpress.com “page attributes” to it.

So I don’t have to use the plugin “Custom permalinks” anylonger.
