 * Hi,
 * I have a problem with the permalinks of my shop. When i view a product it removes
   the the shop(winkel) from the permalink. an example:
 * When I view a subcategory:
    [http://www.mydomain.com/shop/category/subcattegory](http://www.mydomain.com/shop/category/subcattegory)
 * When I click on a product within that sub category:
    [http://www.mydomain.com/category/subcattegory/product](http://www.mydomain.com/category/subcattegory/product)
   A
 * Here is a image of my current settings:
    [https://postimg.org/image/6zh5nm341/](https://postimg.org/image/6zh5nm341/)
 * It would be logical that the shop part stays in the permalink structure. I am
   using woocommerce & storefront extension. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * The custom base at the bottom doesn’t have it. But anyhow, you shouldn’t use 
   the same base for products and categories. WordPress will get confused and show
   404s

 * OKe, I followed your advise and this is what it looks like now:
 * When visiting a product category:
 * mydomain.com/product-categorie/category/subcattegory/
 * When visiting a product:
 * mydomain.com/shop/category/subcategory/product-a
 * My settings: [https://postimg.org/image/l2b5gmtuf/](https://postimg.org/image/l2b5gmtuf/)
 * Now it adds “product-catgorie” when browsing the categories and when visiting
   a product it shows the correct permalink. When I replace the “product-categorie”
   with winkel(shop) it gives me 404’s onm the category pages 🙁
 * It feels like when you browse the categories of the shop it should show the shop
   in the permalink for a correct silo structure. Because the categories are a part
   of the shop. Is there any way to achieve this?
 * Thanks a lot for your help & time!!

 * This is a limitation of WP – the bases need to differ to avoid 404s (so it knows
   what content is being displayed).
