I'm trying to find out if there has been any progress with cascading URLs as described in the following post:

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/cascading-urls-containing-state-and-city-names-texasdallas/

Example: .../texas/tom-green/san-angelo/76904 (State, County, City, Zip Code)

It's been almost 5 years.

Hi Ed,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Actually this one I believe will be added by our development team. Your URL's are they related post types ?

Meaning as you go further into the URL the are related through a Post relationship ?

If so then this is something that would need to be added using custom code. As we are essentially building out the URL's based on WordPress's standard URL structure design.

Thanks,
Shane

Yes, the are CPTs in "cascading" relationships.

Zip Code belongs to City, County, and State

City belongs to County and State

County belongs to State.

Hi Ed,

Thank you for the clarity.

As suspected you will need to use custom code to achieve this. Achieving this falls outside of the scope of our support forum and what our plugins can do natively.

Essentially what you will need to do is to construct the URL by writing some custom code to pick up the relationship data. So when a new page is being loaded it checks if the post is in a relationship and then prepends the URL with the relationship information.

Thanks,
Shane

So this is not going to be added as a feature? At all?

Hi Ed,

I can say that this won't be added in the immediate future . I wouldn't rule it out for the distant future but for now its not on the road map.

Thanks,
Shane

Please consider adding this, as soon as possible. It just makes sense. I know I'm not the only one who needs this.
