That’s what I’m currently doing. Unfortunatly, I have 200+ categories, with more to come, and maintaining a hierarchy in that fashion is only complicating things.

In other words, in order to maintain a workable single category navigation when you have set group categories (Ex. letters and number). You have to arrange it in such a way that each parent category (of one set group) has the exact same set of sub categories. What i’m trying to achieve is a multi category navigation and to simplify it for authors by organizing the categories into set groups.

I know about custom taxonomies, but a critial plugin hasn’t updated to take advantage of it. So I have to keep the main category sets in the default category.

Example
Letters
-A
-B
-C
etc
Numbers
-1
-2
-3
etc

I believe what you are looking for is at

…and to create the list. I used a Find & Replace method with notepad
Find———————Replace with
(category type 1) = square
(category type 2) = cirle
(category type a) = red
(category type b) = blue

(category type 1)/(category type a)/type-1
(category type 1)/(category type a)/type-2
(category type 1)/(category type a)/type-3
(category type 1)/(category type b)/type-1
(category type 1)/(category type b)/type-2
(category type 1)/(category type b)/type-3
(category type 2)/(category type a)/type-1
(category type 2)/(category type a)/type-2
(category type 2)/(category type a)/type-3
(category type 2)/(category type b)/type-1
(category type 2)/(category type b)/type-2
(category type 2)/(category type b)/type-3

Hope this helps

I personally like the 2nd idea, and more filter settings would be sweet.

When you have categories/sub-categories with the same name, you need to use the slug setting feature in the plug-in. The default symbol is $.

(TITLE)$(SLUG)/(TITLE)$(SLUG)

I have the same issue
