 * Hello,
 * I need some help with setting up a logical URL hierarchy on my website, and having
   the breadcrumbs follow the same hierarchy.
 * My website will have two elements to it, one is a store and another is a blog.
   I have tried using a combination of Permalinks, Breadcrumb NAVX plugin and Custom
   Permalinks plugin and nothing is getting me the required result after many hours
   of trying various combinations. Please also note that my store setup is being
   done through WooCommerce.
 * **BLOG**
    Structure overview: Homepage Breadcrumb hierarchy: Home URL hierarchy:
   websitename.com Structure overview: Homepage > Blog Main Page Breadcrumb hierarchy:
   Home > Blog URL hierarchy: websitename.com/blog Structure overview: Homepage 
   > Blog Main Page > Blog Category Page Breadcrumb hierarchy: Home > Blog > Electronics
   URL hierarchy: websitename.com/blog/electronics Structure overview: Homepage 
   > Blog Main Page > Blog Category Page > Blog Post Breadcrumb hierarchy: Home 
   > Blog > Electronics > Best Laptops URL hierarchy: websitename.com/blog/electronics/
   best-laptops **Please note that I need the Blog Main Page to be a standard page(
   not post category page) as I want to customise it using Elementor.**
 * **STORE**
    Structure overview: Homepage Breadcrumb hierarchy: Home URL hierarchy:
   websitename.com Structure overview: Homepage > Store Breadcrumb hierarchy: Home
   > Store URL hierarchy: websitename.com/store Structure overview: Homepage > Store
   Page > Product Category Breadcrumb hierarchy: Home > Store > Clothing URL hierarchy:
   websitename.com/store/clothing Structure overview: Homepage > Store Page > Product
   Category > Product Breadcrumb hierarchy: Home > Store > Clothing > Gloves URL
   hierarchy: websitename.com/store/clothing/gloves **Please note that I will be
   using Woocommerce plugin for me store**
 * Many thanks for your support in advance.

 * I think you’ll need to make use of `add_rewrite_rule()` to get WP to recognize
   your desired URL structure and transform the requests into a series of query 
   vars which WP knows internally how to process.

 * If you want a standard WP page to also list blog posts as well as show Elementor
   content, you’ll need a custom page template which has a secondary query and loop
   added which queries for and lists the blog posts.
