I'm building a blog that is kind of split into 5 different parts. Example: I try to combine 4 brands and the company owning those brands on one website. Let's say the company is called "Apple" and the 4 brands are called "iPad", "iPhone", "iPod" and "Mac".
What I want to do is to slice the website into 1 part for each of the brands and 1 part for company in general. So when I go to apple.com I get the home page of the company. The iPhone sub-part of the page can be found under apple.com/iphone, the iPad one under apple.com/ipad and so on.
For each of those 5 parts I have created a menu-location in my Wordpress theme and a category. Under the "Apple" part of the website, there is a menu item called "Products" and it has sub-items for each product. The product parts of the website have a menu item called "Product Info". Both menu items, e.g. "Products/iPad" of the "Apple" part and "Product Info" of the "iPad" part of the website are linked to the same page that lies under "Product pages/iPad" in the page administration of Wordpress. Thus, the permalink of the page is apple.com/product-pages/ipad. What I want it that this very same page can be accessed via apple.com/products/ipad AND via apple.com/ipad/product-info - depending on what menu was used to get to that page. (I don't care whether the page is still reachable unter apple.com/product-pages/ipad afterwards, or not.)
How can I make this possible without having to duplicate the menu structure in the pages administration (and thus having to create the iPad page 2 times with the same content)?
For better understanding, here's a menu structure -> page structure mapping.
Menu Structure:
- Apple (a) -> Posts from all 5 Categories
- Products (b) -> Page (1)
- iPad (c) -> Page (3)
- iPhone (d) -> Page (4)
- iPod (e) -> Page (5)
- Mac (f) -> Page (6)
- Products (b) -> Page (1)
- iPad (g) -> Posts from category "iPad"
- Product Info (h) -> Page (3)
- iPhone (i) -> Posts from category "iPhone"
- Product Info (j) -> Page (4)
- iPod (k) -> Posts from category "iPod"
- Product Info (l)-> Page (5)
- Mac (m) -> Posts from category "Mac"
- Product Info (n) -> Page (6)
Page Structure:
- Product Overview (1) -> Linked in menu item (b)
- Product Pages (2) -> Not linked, used for structure purposes only
- iPad (3) -> Linked in menu items (c) and (h)
- iPhone (4) -> Linked in menu items (d) and (j)
- iPod (5) -> Linked in menu items (e) and (l)
- Mac (6) -> Linked in menu items (f) and (n)
Or is there a better way to achieve my goal? Thanks in advance! :)
