Category Hierarchy Problem
-
I am building a curriculum website for several martial arts schools with inter-related, but slightly different curricula. I am trying to organize posts for particular topics into a category hierarchy so that one can sort the school, belt rank, technique type, etc. by using categories.
My problem is that the URL for some of my categories aren’t working properly. For instance, I have a category, “Harvard” with sub-categories “Yellow” and “Yellow-Stripe”. to get all posts in the yellow-harvard sub-category, I simply use, bhptkd.wordpress.com/category/yellow-harvard/ , which works fine.
The problem is that the yellow-stripe-harvard category URL isn’t working properly. Instead of bhptkd.wordpress.com/category/yellow-stripe-harvard/ taking me to the list of posts, I have to go to bhptkd.wordpress.com/category/yellow-stripe/
Does anyone know why this is the case and how to fix it?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Timethief means we volunteers can’t access your admin pages, so we can’t see what exactly you’ve done. But apparently you haven’t been consistent.
The address of a parent category is:
MAIN-BLOG-URL-HERE/category/PARENT-NAME-HERE/
The address of a child category is:
MAIN-BLOG-URL-HERE/category/PARENT-NAME-HERE/CHILD-NAME-HERE/So if “Yellow-Stripe” is a child to “Harvard”, its address shouldn’t be as you’ve written above, it should be:
http://bhptkd.wordpress.com/category/harvard/yellow-stripe/
(This address does work.) -
If you’re trying to improvise URLs for your links, better don’t! I would suggest you temporarily activate the sidebar and the category widget again, and click the widget category tabs to get the actual URLs (and/or see if and where you’ve gone wrong).

Thanks… (If the Category widget was on, we would be able to find out what’s going on. But without it we can’t sort it out.)
