 * Hi there. I have been using pods for a while on a local archive site i’ve been
   creating.
   basically I have a custom taxonomy called Book Categories and a post
   type called book.
 * The custom taxonomy lists all the folders/categories using a dewey system if 
   I remember correctly.
 * The post type contains all the books.
 * I have a Breadcrumb NavXT plugin that makes a breadcrumb trail to the book and
   that works as expected. but the issue i have is that the permalink doesn’t follow
   the same method and I not sure how to achieve this.
 * When you go through the book categories the page/permalink works as expected 
   with categories and subcategories appearing in the permalink. is there a way 
   to relate the book CPT to the custom taxonomy.
 * I kinda want the permalink to be:
 * websitehomeurl/bookcategoryhome/bookcategory/booksubcategory(if it exists)/booktitle
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpermalink-help-16%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

    - See `bcn_default_hierarchy_display` and similar filters for custom breadcrumb
      output in NavXT — [https://mtekk.us/code/breadcrumb-navxt/breadcrumb-navxt-doc/](https://mtekk.us/code/breadcrumb-navxt/breadcrumb-navxt-doc/)
    - Also see [https://mtekk.us/archives/guides/non-hierarchical-taxonomies-and-json-ld-compatibility/](https://mtekk.us/archives/guides/non-hierarchical-taxonomies-and-json-ld-compatibility/)
      for an example of changing what terms appear in the breadcrumbs. Note John’s
      comment on this article about appropriate filters for hierarchical versus 
      non-hierarchical taxonomies.
    - Is the taxonomy connected via the `Connections` tab?
    - Is the taxonomy hierarchical under `Advanced Settings` tab?

 * so the breadcrumbs are working as expected and perfectly it’s just on the permalinks
   it doesn’t.
 * Just to confirm it’s connected via the connections and hierarchical is ticked

 * Subcategory permalink structures can be configured most easily with plugins, 
   as the WordPress core API for rewrites is a bit complex. See [https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/permalinks/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/permalinks/),
   especially [https://wordpress.org/plugins/permalink-manager/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/permalink-manager/)
   with documentation at [https://permalinkmanager.pro/docs/tutorials/add-category-slug-wordpress-permalinks/](https://permalinkmanager.pro/docs/tutorials/add-category-slug-wordpress-permalinks/).
