 * Hello,
 * Today I cretaed parent category for my category ex:
 * category/animals(parent)/dogs(child)
 * the problem is that now exists two links:
 * 1) category/animals/dogs
 * and
 * 2) category/dogs ->this is what Yoast shows me in my permalink when editing the
   category (and probably what user will search with google)
 * How can I have only the 1) ? I want full path for my subcategory when someone
   search the keywords in google
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/)
 * Thank you!
