I am working to redesign a site and would like to rework the permalink structure for the category pages only. Right now they are using:
/category/category-name
I would like to switch this to:
/category-parent/category-name
When doing this though, I don't want to change any of the post URLs that are currently /year/month/post-name
. Is there a way to change the category permalinks, but not the post links?
A few comments too:
I know I will likely have the restructure the categories to be in parent/child form, since they currently are not.
I thought about using custom post types, but I would rather not do that since it doesn't seem like the best use here.
