 * My theme does not display the full category path when sub category is selected.
 * For instance, if I have a sub-category named “Dogs”, which is under the parent
   category “Pets”. The theme will just display “Dogs”
 * I want to display the full path – “Pets” >> “Dogs”
 * I noticed that wordpress forums also display the full category path. Right now
   I am here at WordPress › Support » Themes and Templates
 * This is exactly what I want to display. Any idea how to do that ?

 * Go to **settings > permalinks** and choose custom structure.
 * Then paste this in to the box provided:
 * `/%category%/%postname%/`
