Link to article categories

I don’t see a way in Admin -> Preferences to show urls like section/category/title and I’d really like to make a nav menu that will link to finer things than sections. For my site about cabinets, I have a section called woods. Right now, it’s fine; there aren’t enough articles to justify even making a category, but at some point I’d like to have, say, a maple category, an oak, birch, etc.

Would it then be possible to make a link that goes site/woods/maple ? I’ve already read that it’s possible to pull up a list of articles in a given category, I’m just not sure how to make a link to such a page.

With out plugins category pages are partly messy:

  • Just category: /category
  • Section and category: /section/?c=category

Yes you can pull the content, and even content from the category when on individual article page, ‘cause the article itself contains the information in which category it belongs. The permlink doesn’t have real category filter, tho, put category pages do exists.

If you want to fake (or make) clean permlinks with category, you can (hopefully) use a plugin, gbp_permanent_link

With the plugin, gbp_permanent_link, you can create permlink rules including /section/category/title.
