# Multiple taxonomy query by permalink

 * Hello,
 * I have read pages on the Internet that say I can display multiple categories 
   by typing a URL like this:
 * [http://www.example.com/category/category1+category2+category3](http://www.example.com/category/category1+category2+category3)
 * I am trying to find official documentation on this matter but cannot find it.
   Exists?
 * If I put a url like that in my menu on my website, is it well done? Should I 
   do differently when I want to list entries that belong to category 1 and category
   2 at the same time?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * I don’t think the query variables are very well documented.
    What WordPress does
   is use the variables in the URL to match posts in the database. Your example 
   URL is asking for posts that are in all three categories, not all posts in any
   of those categories. So I guess it does what you want.
 * There are a lot of parameters that you can use in code to make the query look
   for multiple taxonomies, but those parameters need to be in arrays, so there’s
   no good way to get that into a URL. [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#category-parameters](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#category-parameters)
 * If you want to match posts that are in different taxonomies, you can simply put
   both like myflowersite/?bloom_time=spring&exposure=partial-shade
    (I actually
   have that, so I know it works.)

 * Hi, Joy!
 * Suppose the following. I have an store with this categories:
    - Autumn Winter 19
    - Spring Summer 20
    - Men
    - Women
    - All products are well categorized. All products belongs to Men or Women, and
      all products belongs to one or another season.
    - If I want to show products that belongs to SS20 and Women, for example, is
      there another way than writing example.com/product-category/ss20+women?? How
      would you do it? Is there a way to avoid this kind of urls with plus sign,
      but show products that belongs to those two categories at the same time?
    - Thanks in advance!!

 * I don’t think there’s another way. That way is good, if it is what you want to
   achieve.
