# Product Category Path Query

 * For the ‘Product slug with primary category’ option under Products, is there 
   a way of using the direct parent category of a product, rather than the grand-
   parent category?
 * I have child categories that inherit the parent category slug, with an additional
   phrase to define the child:
 * Parent: art-music
    Child: art-music-painting
 * Yet when I select the category path, it’s the parent that shows in the URL:
 * domain.com/art-music/name-of-painting
 * Rather than:
 * domain.com/art-music-painting/name-of-painting
 * The later of which is more concise and descriptive for SEO – so why does it default
   to a parent category – missing out an important ‘filter’ of child category?
 * Naturally I want to avoid the full category hierarchy path as:
 * domain.com/art-music-/art-music-painting/name-of-painting
 * is somewhat repetitive…
 * Any suggestions would be appreciated!

 * Hi, [@frown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frown/)!
 * Use ‘Yoast SEO’ primary category with “Product slug with primary category”.
