We are now offering Woocomerce support as well. Your products URL structure can include the list of nested categories. For example: If you have a custom post type called “Projects” and a taxonomy for “Project Types”. This plugin will give you: http://domain.com/projects/project-type/project-slug/ Instead of the default: http://domain.com/projects/project-slug/ If your Woocommerce product “Woo Ninja” was categorised under: cloting >> hoodies This plugin will give you: http://domain.com/shop/clothing/hoodies/woo-ninja/ Instead of the default: http://domain.com/shop/woo-ninja/ ## Screenshots [⌊In your wp-admin dashboard, look for these settings.

What if I don’t have any custom post types or taxonomies yet? If you want a GUI interface through which to create your custom post types and taxonomies, I would recommend you use this plugin : [https://wordpress.org/plugins/pods/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pods/). Alternatively, if you are familiar with PHP, you could just follow the follow the Codex examples : [https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types](https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types) What if I enable this plugin and all my posts are broken? All this plugin does is create rewrite rules that maps your URL back to an actual post. If you find that after you’ve enabled this plugin, things go horribly wrong, simply disable the plugin and create a support request here. Will this work for Woocommerce? Yes it definitely will! We have added Woocommerce support to our FREE plugin. Why do my URL’s now suddenly have a numerical suffix e.g /name-of-post-1234/ That’s a really good question. The answer is a bit technical. Becuase you could technically have a post and a category with exactly the same URL, we’ve had to add a way of differentiating between the two. For example you could have `domain.com/ amazing-pictures/` which could be a category, but `domain.com/amazing-pictures/` could also be a single post. In WordPress they’re treated the same, but we need to know which is which. Therefore, your post will be suffixed by the unique post identifier. This is the industry standard way of doing it and is completely SEO safe. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a8a3c44a68937ee1996ba1bd3325126c4fd962f20b60acc16988dea6b527d14c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[It just works](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-just-works-363/)󠁿 [Jonathan Bossenger](https://profiles.wordpress.org/psykro/) April 25, 2017 Tested on an nginx setup with the Divi theme, works out of the box on Divi’s ‘Project’ custom post type.
