Slightly complex sitemap – help needed
-
I have a problem.
I’ve already decided on the URL structure of my site, and now I have to shoe-horn my structure into WP in the hope that it’ll all fit together nicely. My question is: can I do it? And if so, how?
This is the structure:
* “/” – Homepage – has blog posts ONLY
* “/journal/” – Blog – has blog posts only (probably almost the same as the homepage, but maybe with more posts (5 instead of 3, or something)
Permalink structure:
“/journal/sub-category/name-of-entry”* “/journal/categories” – Categories homepage – list of categories INSIDE Journal and a count of the posts, e.g
— Web Design (3 posts)
— Music (5 posts)
etc..
(note that these are probably “sub-categories” of the main “Journal” category* “/articles/” – Random articles about stuff (programming, design etc..). No sub-categories.
Use a different template.
Permalink structure: “/articles/name-of-entry”* “/portfolio/” – Portfolio entries.
No sub-categories. (well… maybe eventually there will be)
Use a different template.
Permalink structure: “/portfolio/name-of-entry”* “/about/” – About – static page (easily done)
* “/contact/” – Contact – static page (easily done)
Does that all make sense? I can see how I need to enter 3 main “blog” categories:
* Journal
* Portfolio
* ArticlesAnd only “Journal” has sub-categories. (Web Design, Music, Life etc..). That’s all straight-forward enough to do.
But how to setup WordPress to achieve this? I realize that I may need to make concessions about the permalink structure.
I’m quite confident with PHP, so if I need to rip WordPress apart to achieve this, I’ll do it. That said, I’d rather achieve this WITHIN the WordPress system if possible.
Also the “Categories” node is a tricky one, because usually you get a 404 when you visit the categories root…
Thanks in advance.
