    Hello
    I have been struggling on this topic for many days and read and tried all i can. This is the situation.
    I have to make a products wp installation.

    I have to show products based on country–>region then there are trees of categoris (e.g. clothing–>hats–> productA,productB… and clothing–>scarf–> productC,productD… and so on).

    The nesting levels of product categoris may vary.
    (e.g. clothing–>hats–> productA or clothing–>top–>shirts—> productZ )

    The same product may be present in different countrys or regions.

    It has to be multilingual.

    I’m able to make Custom Post Type to show products with different attributes.
    I’m able to make custom taxonomy to generate categoris for this CPT.
    I am also able to display a page with posts fltered by differents categoris (e.g. region=x and productCat=y)

    I’d like to know how to create menu links that tell a filtering page which categoris use to filter for
    I’d like this to be nice links (wpinstall/products/countryX/regionY/clothing/hats/)

    It would be easy if the same product wouldnt show in different countrys/regions
    … and it should be multilingual (here suggestion much appreciated)

    thankyou in advance

    Is not so clear how you handle multilingual environment and how products are displayed in your installation on specific languages.
    Can you be mre specific about that? Can you give a url?.

    Menu links like http://www.site.com/product-category/kitchen/ is good way to filter. But for sure maybe you first have to clarify what i ask 🙂

    Hello George
    thankyou for responding
    the site has still to be made.
    At present there are only tests on a localhost so no link sorry.
    I’m still at stage where i’m looking for the best solutions to adopt.
    I started concentrating on how make multiple categories filters as this seemed my first issue probably determining also the multilingual choice.
    I’d be more than happy to listen to your advices for both issues

    Menu links like http://www.site.com/product-category/kitchen/ is good way to filter. But for sure maybe you first have to clarify what i ask 🙂

    yes. That would work if I had to filter just one category but as I explained before I have to filter my custom posts by more than one at once.

    I suppose you use Woocommerce.

    If i were you :

    1)I prefer to use online environment for development. There are a lot of hosting providers with managed hosting. I use to prefere managed hosting and online development because i’ll face all issues in real installation ( live and not local ).

    2) I hope your theme supports woocommerce and multilingual environment. most ov the people use WPML as multilingual plugin but there are more.

    3)Maybe is prefered to have a multilingual installation. On that kind of installation you can have a product on specific languages ( a copy on each language ), so you can filter the language bu query.

    4)After the langueage query you can have also categories and products also by query.

    As we all see is now so easy but maybe you sould give a try.

    To be honnest i never face eshop installation with specific products in every language.

    One last sollution is to have each copy of site as a subdomains abd handle them as diferent sites.

    How many languages will you have?

    well actually I dont have to sell products. Just to show them.
    Maybe woocommerce could be a solution. I’m looking into it to check if it can do the job.

    1) the suggestion to use online installation is good and I’ll do for sure as soon as i start the real production.
    2) I still have to choose a theme. I’ll choose one that better supports the technical solution I’ll adopt. I may even try to make a custom one.
    3) At present one of the requirements is to have exact same products for different languages (just 2 at present but maybe more in the futur)

    4) this is my current bigger issue. How to filter multiple products in a page where filtering categories come from a nice url like mysite/countryX/regionY/categoryW/categoryZ
    As you can see this is also a problem with translation if my link get translated too.
    Do you know if woocommerce actually support that? basically I need nested categories with, in sama case, multiple (2 at present) parents.

    One last sollution is to have each copy of site as a subdomains abd handle them as diferent sites.

    One of the requirement is to have all data in one place. So same products, images, info for all countrys (just a plain translation for other languages)

    My opinion WooCommerce is for sure what you need.

    See for your own those links. I think you will get more answers 🙂
