I would like to have the following taxonomy structure:

site.com/courses/course-name/pathway/pathway-name

The domain is such that any particular course can be completed by taking a number of different pathways - different module structures.

The following URLS would work as such:

site.com/courses

shows a list of courses

site.com/courses/course-name

will follow a template e.g. single-course.php, showing title, content and a list of the pathways associated to this course.

site.com/courses/course-name/pathways/

will follow a template e.g. archive-pathway.php, showing course-name and a list of pathways (not be used so much but will still need to work)

site.com/courses/course-name/pathways/pathway-name

will follow a template, e.g. single-pathway.php, showing the course-name title, the pathway-name title and content for this pathway.

The files here may be incorrect whereby I should be using taxonomy-{}.php or otherwise as appropriate, instead of single-{}.php.

My question: is it possible to set up the above hierarchy within WordPress? If so, please provide some code to register_taxonomy or register_post_type as appropriate to help me get started.

I cannot find how to do this elsewhere but am pretty sure this is how courses in the TutsPlus network use WordPress.

  • courses is a post type and pathways is a taxonomy?

  • Each pathway needs to have its own content, title, custom fields, featured image etc... don't think this can work as a taxonomy but needs to be a CPT in its own right... but somehow almost as a child of a course CPT..

  • you mention taxonomy, but don't appear to be using one.

I ended up using Subordinate Post Type Helpers plugin to create relationships between two distinct custom post types: courses and pathways

enter image description hereI'm not entirely sure if this will really help with exactly what you're looking for, but here is the WP template hierarchy. Personally solves a lot of my own questions & is a great reference to look back on
