Support » Fixing WordPress » Help with organising content – categories, tags, taxonomy’s etc

  • Hi folks,

    I’m trying to come of with the best way of organising the following content and would really appreiate any suggestions you may have.

    Currently I have a category called casestudies with around 30 posts in it. I’ve been asked to organise these case study posts into further ‘categories’, however I can’t just use sub categories as a case study post may belong in multiple categories. For example, I need the following case study categories, legal, sales, admin, general etc but an individual case study may belong in multiple categories.

    I’ve breifly read up on tags and custom posts / custom taxonomy but am unsure which is the best way to proceed.

    Thanks in advance for any advice!

  • You can use multiple categories on one post – so you could use sub-categories. It is fine for a post to be “in” multiple cats.

    Hi there. I’ve tried adding them to multiple categories as you said but I seem to be digging myself deeper into a URL stew!

    To explain. I have permalinks set to

    /%category%/%postname%/

    So say if I have a parent category of “Case studies” with mulitple sub categories – “Sales”, “Accounts”, “Transport” etc I seem to get the url (in the nav menu and breadcrumbs) of

    site.com/category/case-studies

    but the url of

    site.com/case-studies/post-name/

    For individual posts.

    To avoid this should I use tags/taxonomies?

    Thanks for any help in advance! Struggling here.
