   I'm currently using Wordpress to setup a project which will lists jobs. The first parent categories look like this:

   - All (Showing all jobs in all categories)
   - Fulltime (Showing all jobs sorted as Fulltime)
   - Freelance (Showing all jobs sorted as Freelance)

   That is not a problem, but I have not found a solution to the next round of categories, as I will have 3-4 child categories under the three parent categories. The child categories will have the same names for all parent categories.

   Example:
   - ALL
   - Webdesign (Showing both Fulltime & Freelance)
   - Programming (Showing both Fulltime & Freelance)
   - Content (Showing both Fulltime & Freelance)

   - FULLTIME
   - Webdesign (Showing Fulltim)
   - Programming (Showing Fulltime)
   - Content (Showing Fulltime)

   - FREELANCE
   - Webdesign (Showing Freelance)
   - Programming (Showing Freelance)
   - Content (Showing Freelance)

   I hope you understand what I want to accomplish, some sort of child categories working for diffrent parent categories or sorting posts in Fulltime and Webdesign by something like /fulltime/webdesign/.

   How should I solve this?

   I would suggest you use "All," "Fulltime," and "Freelance" as categories, then "Webdesign," "Programming," and "Content" as tags.

   Then filter requests by Categories and then Tags in those Categories.

   That's an excellent idea, kulpreetsingh. But there are also some mega category plugins that might help accomplish what Karman wants. Start here:

   Category Magic

   Article Directory:

   Front Page Categories (this was written by WP Dev Ryan Boren)

   There's one out there, Category Overload, that I've never been able to get to work; maybe it just doesn't play nice with my other plugins:

   "....filter requests by Categories and then Tags in those Categories."

   Hi Kulpreet, any idea how can I go about doing that? I took a look at jonimueller's solutions and didn't manage to apply any of them successfully
