Hello. I am using Types to create custom taxonomies for Woocommerce.
I have disabled the builtin WC taxonomies (Product categories & Tags).
I created my own (Watch categories, Jewelry Categories) and populated them. For example under Watch Category I created Watch->Men's Watch.
I did not change the default settings in permalinks.
The problem is that the permalink is not showing the custom taxonomy. Instead it obviously uses a default WP taxonomy (not sure if its WP or WC's). Show insted of:
hidden link
it shows
hidden link
I would appreciate some help on how to solve this.
Thanks
Thank you for contacting Toolset Support. This is basically a WooCommerce question as it handles any taxonomy permalinks attached with its products. For this you need to follow below steps:
1. Add Watch as parent category and Men’s Watch as child -- see attached screenshot.
2. Set Permalink Settings as attached.
3. It will give you URLs like this:
Product Category link: hidden link
Single Product link: hidden link
Thank you for your reply.
I understand your suggestion. However and as I previously mentioned, I do not use builtin product categories to group my products. I created custom taxonomies for that.
Just a thought: what is the respective syntax to refer to custom taxonomy directly? I mean the one like '%product_cat%'. Would just including the slug inside suffice? Eg if slug is 'watch-categories' can I refer to it inside permalink settings as
Eg if slug is 'watch-categories' can I refer to it inside permalink settings as
/shop/%watch-categories%
==> Sorry, you can’t use Custom taxonomies directly in permalink as native taxonomies (categories). It needs some custom coding.
Here is a client that make it to show custom taxonomies in permalink using some code: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/display-custom-taxonomy-in-permalink/#post-88991
Its a kind of builtin limitation of WP or WooCommerce itself, so you might want to ask it from their support forums if above client provided code does not work.
Thanks
